CHAP. XIII.


1   A wise sonne will obey the instruction of his father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke.


2   A man shall eate good things by the fruite note of his mouth: but the soule of the trespassers shall suffer violence.


3   Hee that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but he that openeth his lips, destruction shal be to him.


4   The sluggard note lusteth, but his soule hath nought: but the soule of the diligent shall haue plentie.


5   A righteous man hateth lying wordes: but the wicked causeth slander and shame.


6   Righteousnesse preserueth the vpright of note life: but wickednes ouerthroweth the sinner.


7   There is that maketh himselfe riche, and hath nothing, and that maketh himselfe poore, hauing great riches.


8   A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore note cannot heare þe; reproch.


9   The light of the righteous reioyceth: but the candle of the wicked shall be put out.


10   Onely by pride note doeth man make contention: but with the well aduised is wisdome.


11   The note riches of vanitie shal diminish: but he that gathereth with note the hand, shall increase them.


12   The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.


13   He that despiseth note the worde, hee shall be destroyed: but hee that feareth the commaundement he shalbe rewarded.


14   The instruction of a wise man is as the welspring of life, to turne away from the snares of death.


15   Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.


16   Euery wise man will worke by knowledge: but a foole will spread abroade folly.


17    noteA wicked messenger falleth note into euill: but a faithfull ambassadour is preseruation.


18   Pouertie and shame is to him that refuseth instruction: but hee that regardeth correction, shalbe honoured.


19   A desire accomplished deliteth þe; soule: but it is an abomination to fooles to depart from euil.


20   He that walketh with the wise, shalbe wise: but a companion of fooles shalbe note afflicted.


21   Affliction followeth sinners: but vnto the righteous God will recompense good.


22   The good man shall giue inheritance vnto his childrens children: and the note riches of the sinner is layde vp for the iust.


23   Much foode is in the fielde of the note poore: but the fielde is destroyed without discretion.


24    noteHe that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.


25   The righteous eateth to the contentation of his minde: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
