THE PARABLE OF SALOMON. A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is an heauines to his mother.

A slouthfull hand maketh poore: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.

The memoriall of the iust shalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rotte.

The wise in heart will receiue commandements: but the foolish in talke shalbe beaten.

He that winketh with the eye, worketh sorowe, and he yet is foolish in talke, shalbe beaten.
11 Kanua ka mũndũ mũthingu nĩ gĩthima kĩa muoyo, no kanua ka mũndũ mwaganu kaiyũraga ngũĩ.
The mouth of a righteous man is a welspring of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 Rũmena rũrehaga nyamũkano, no wendani ũhumbagĩra ũũru wothe.
Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all trespasses.
13 Ũũgĩ ũkoragwo mĩromo-inĩ ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũkũũrani maũndũ, no mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ aagĩrĩirwo nĩ rũthanju ciande-inĩ ciake.
In the lippes of him that hath vnderstanding wisdome is founde, and a rod shalbe for the backe of him that is destitute of wisedome.

The righteous shall neuer be remooued: but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.

The mouth of the iust shall be fruitfull in wisdome: but the tongue of the froward shall be cut out.
