CHAP. X.
1 The difference of foolishnesse and wisedome. 11 A slanderer
is like a serpent that cannot be charmed. 16 Of foolish Kings,
and drunken princes, 17 And of good Kings and princes.
-- --
To be liberall to the poore.
1 Dead flies cause to stinke, & putrifie the ointment
of the apoticarie: so doeth a litle follie
him that is in estimation for wisedome, and for
glorie.
2 The heart of a note wise man is at his right
hand: but the heart of a foole is at his left hand.
3 And also when the foole goeth by the way,
his heart faileth, and he note telleth vnto all that he
is a foole.
4 If the note spirite of him that ruleth, rise vp against
thee, leaue not thy place: for gentlenes pacifieth
great sinnes.
5 There is an euil that I haue seene vnder the
sunne, as an note error that proceedeth from the face
of him that ruleth.
6 Follie is set in great excellencie, and the
note riche set in the lowe place.
7 I haue seene seruants on horses, and princes
walking as seruants on the ground.
8 noteHe that diggeth a pit, shall fal into it, and
he þt; breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
9 He that remooueth stones, shall hurt himselfe
thereby, and hee that cutteth wood, shall be
in danger thereby.
10 If the yron be blunt, & one hath not whet
the edge, he must then put to more note strength: but
the excellencie to direct a thing is wisedome.
11 If the serpent bite, when he is not charmed:
no better is a babbler.
12 The words of þe; mouth of a wise man haue
grace: but the lippes of a foole deuoure himselfe.
13 The beginning of the wordes of his mouth
is foolishnesse, and the latter ende of his mouth is
wicked madnesse.
14 For the foole multiplieth woordes, saying,
Man knoweth not what shall be: and who can tell
him what shall be after him?
15 The labour of the foolish doeth wearie
him: for he knoweth not to goe into the note citie.
16 Woe to thee, O lande, when thy King is a
note childe, and thy princes note eate in the morning.
17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy King is
the sonne note of nobles, and thy princes eate in time,
for strength and not for drunkennesse.
18 By slouthfulnes the roofe of the house goeth
to decaie, and by the ydlenesse of the handes
the house droppeth through.
19 They prepare bread for laughter, and wine
comforteth the liuing, but siluer answereth to all.
20 Curse not the King, no not in thy thought,
neither curse the rich in thy bed chamber: for the
note foule of the heauen shall carie the voice, & that
which hath wings, shall declare the matter.
