CHAP. XXI.
1 The note Kings heart is in the hand of the Lord,
as the riuers of waters: he turneth it whithersoeuer
it pleaseth him.
2 Euery note way of a man is right in his owne
eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
3 noteTo doe iustice and iudgement is more acceptable
to the Lord then sacrifice.
4 A hautie looke, and a proude heart, which
is the note note light of the wicked, is sinne.
5 The thoughtes of the diligent doe surely
bring abundance: but note whosoeuer is hastie, commeth
surely to pouertie.
6 noteThe gathering of treasures by a deceitfull
tongue is vanitie tossed to and fro of them
that seeke death.
7 The note robberie of the wicked shall destroy
them: for they haue refused to execute iudgement.
8 The way of some is peruerted and strange:
but of the pure man, his worke is right.
9 noteIt is better to dwell in a corner of the
house top, then with a contentious woman in a
note wide house.
10 The soule of the wicked wisheth euill: and
his neighbour hath no fauour in his eyes.
11 noteWhen the scorner is punished, the foolish
is wise: and when one instructeth the wise, he wil
receiue knowledge.
12 The righteous note teacheth the house of the
wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for
their euill.
13 He that stoppeth his eare at the crying of
the poore, he shall also cry and not be heard.
14 A note gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a gift
in the bosome great wrath.
15 It is ioye to the iust to doe iudgement: but
destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie.
16 A man that wandreth out of the way of
wisdome, shall remaine in the congregation of
the dead.
17 Hee that loueth pastime, shalbe a poore
man: and he that loueth wine and oyle, shall not
be riche.
18 The note wicked shalbe a ransome for the iust,
and the transgressour for the righteous.
19 noteIt is better to dwell in the wildernesse,
then with a contentious and angry woman.
20 In the house of the wise is a pleasant treasure
and note oyle: but a foolish man deuoureth it.
21 He that followeth after righteousnes and
mercy, shal finde life, righteousnes, and glory.
22 A note wise man goeth vp into the citie of the
mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the
confidence thereof.
23 He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue,
keepeth his soule from afflictions.
24 Proude, hautie and scornefull is his name
that worketh in his arrogancie wrath.
25 The desire of the slouthfull note slayeth him:
for his hands refuse to worke.
26 He coueteth euermore greedily, but the
righteous giueth and spareth not.
-- --
The Lord defendeth the poore.
27 The note sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination:
how much more when he bringeth it with
a wicked minde?
28 noteA false witnes shall perish: but hee that
heareth, note speaketh continually.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but the
iust, he will direct his way.
30 There is no wisedome, neither vnderstanding,
nor counsell against the Lord.
31 The horse is prepared against the day of
battell: but saluation is of the Lord.
