CHAP. XXI.
1 Not to continue in sinne. 5 The prayer of the afflicted. 6 To
hast to be reproued 17 The mouth of the wise man. 26 The
thought of the foole.
1 My sonne, hast thou sinned? doe so no more,
note but pray for the fore sinnes [that they may
be forgiuen thee.]
2 Flee from sinne, as from a serpent: for if thou
c&obar;mest to neere it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof
are as the teeth of a lyon, to slay the soules of men.
3 All iniquitie is as a two edged sworde, the
woundes whereof cannot be healed.
4 Strife and iniuries waste riches: so the house
of the proude shalbe desolate.
5 noteThe prayer of the poore going out of the
mouth, commeth vnto the eares of the Lorde, and
iustice is done him incontinently.
6 Who so hateth to be reformed, is in the way
of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord, conuerteth
in heart.
7 An eloquent talker is knowen a farre off: but
he that is wise, perceiueth when he falleth.
8 Who so buildeth his house with other mens
money, is like one that gathereth stones to make
his graue.
9 noteThe congregation of the wicked is like
towe wrapped together: their ende is a flame of
fire to destroy them.
10 The way of sinners is made plaine with
stones, but at the ende thereof is hell, [darkenesse
and paynes.]
11 He that keepeth the Law of the Lord, note ruleth
his owne affections thereby: and the encrease
of wisedome is the ende of the feare of God.
12 He that is not wise, will not suffer him selfe
to be taught: but there is some witte that encreaseth
bitternesse.
13 The knowledge of the wise shall abounde
like water that runneth ouer, and his counsell is
like a pure fountaine of life.
14 noteThe inner partes of a foole are like a broken
-- --
vessell: he can keepe no knowledge whiles he
liueth.
15 When a man of vnderstanding heareth a
wise worde, he will commende it, and increase it:
but if an ignorant man heare it, he will disalowe it,
and cast it behinde his backe.
16 The talking of a foole is like a burden in the
way, but there is comelinesse in the talke of a wise
man.
17 They inquire at the mouth of the wise man
in the congregation, & they shall ponder his words
in their heart.
18 As is an house that is destroyed, so is wisdom
vnto a foole, and the knowledge of the vnwise is as
wordes without order.
19 Doctrine vnto fooles is as fetters on the
feete, and like manicles vpon the right hand.
20 noteA foole lifteth vp his voyce with laughter,
but a wise man doeth scarce smile secretly.
21 Learning is vnto a wise man a iewell of
golde, and like a bracelet vpon his right arme.
22 A foolish mans foote is soone in [his neighbours]
house: but a man of experience is ashamed
to looke in.
23 A foole will peepe in at the dooore into the
house: but he that is wel nurtured, wil stand &wt;out.
24 It is the point of a foolish man to hearken
at the doore: for he that is wise, will be grieued
with such dishonour.
25 The lippes of talkers will be telling such
things as pertaine not vnto them, but the wordes
of such as haue vnderstanding, are weighed in the
balance.
26 The heart of fooles is in their mouth: but
the mouth of the wise is in their heart.
27 When the vngodly curseth Satan, he curseth
his owne soule.
28 noteA backebiter defileth his owne soule, and
is hated wheresoeuer he is: [but he þt; keepeth his
tongue, and is discreete, shall come to honour.]
