Why does it have strange spelling?
CHAP. XXIX.
1 Obseruations of publike gouernement, 15 And of priuate. 22 Of anger, pride, the euery, cowardize, and corruption.
1 He that being often reproued, hardeneth his necke, shal suddenly be destroied, and that without remedy.1
2 When the righteous are in authoritie, the people reioyce: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourne.2
3 Whoso loueth wisedome, reioyceth his father: but hee that keepeth company with harlots, spendeth his substance.3
4 The king by iudgement stablisheth the land: but he that receiueth gifts, ouerthroweth it.4
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour, spreadeth a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an euill man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and reioyce.
7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poore: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.7
8 Scornefull men bring a citie into a snare: but wise men turne away wrath.8
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether hee rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirstie hate the vpright: but the iust seeke his soule.10
11 A foole vttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his seruants are wicked.
13 The poore and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lightneth both their eyes.13
14 The King that faithfully iudgeth the poore, his throne shall be established for euer.14
15 The rod and reproofe giue wisedome: but a child left to himselfe bringeth his mother to shame.15
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.16
17 Correct thy sonne, and hee shall giue thee rest: yea he shall giue delight vnto thy soule.17
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the Law, happy is he.18
19 A seruant will not be corrected by words: for though hee vnderstand, hee will not answere.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a foole then of him.20
22 An angry man stirreth vp strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.22
23 A mans pride shall bring him lowe: but honour shall vpholde the humble in spirit.23
24 Who so is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: hee heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25 The feare of man bringeth a snare: but who so putteth his trust in the Lord, shall be safe.25
26 Many seeke the rulers fauour, but euery mans iudgement commeth from the Lord.26
