A man that hardeneth his necke when he is rebuked, shall suddenly be destroyed and can not be cured.
2 When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.

3 A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.

6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
In the transgression of an euill man is his snare: but the righteous doeth sing and reioyce.

8 Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
Scornefull men bring a citie into a snare: but wise men turne away wrath.

A foole powreth out all his minde: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterward.
12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
Of a prince that hearkeneth to lyes, all his seruants are wicked.

The poore and the vsurer meete together, and the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
A King that iudgeth the poore in trueth, his throne shalbe established for euer.

Where there is no vision, the people decay: but he that keepeth the Lawe, is blessed.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
A seruant will not be chastised with words: though he vnderstand, yet he will not answere.
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
Seest thou a man hastie in his matters? there is more hope of a foole, then of him.
21 He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
He that delicately bringeth vp his seruant from youth, at length he will be euen as his sone.
22 A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.

24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
He that is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: he heareth cursing, and declareth it not.
25 He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
The feare of man bringeth a snare: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shalbe exalted.
26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
Many doe seeke the face of the ruler: but euery mans iudgement commeth from the Lord.
27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
A wicked man is abomination to the iust, and he that is vpright in his way, is abomination to the wicked.
