¶ The .xxj. Chapter.
A The note kynges herte is in the hande of
the Lorde, lyke as are the ryuers of
water: he maye turne it whithersoeuer
he wyll. Euery man thynketh
hys awne waye to be ryght: but the Lorde
iudgeth the hertes. noteTo do ryghteousnesse
and iudgement is more acceptable to þe; Lord
then sacrifyce. A pres&ubar;pteous loke, a proude
stomacke: and the plowynge of the vngodly
is synne. The deuyces of one that is diligent
brynge plenteousnes: but he that is vnaduised
c&obar;meth vnto pouertye. Whoso hoordeth
vp rychesse with the dysceatfulnesse of hys
tonge, he is vayne and a foole, and lyke vnto
th&ebar; that seke theyr awne deeth. The robberyes
of the vngodly shalbe theyr awne destruccyon:
for they wyll nott do the thynge
that is ryght. The wayes of the frowarde
are straunge: but note the worckes of hym that
is cleane are ryght. note
B It is better to dwell in
a corner vnder the house toppe, then with a
braulynge woman in a wyde house. The
soule of the vngodly wysheth euell: and hath
no pitye vpon hys neyghboure. noteWhen the
scornefull is punyshed, the ignoraunt take
the better heade: and when he seyth the wyse
men prospere, he wyll receaue the more vnderstandynge.
The ryghteous man wysely
consydereth the house of the wicked: and for
theyr wickednes God ouerthroweth the vngodly.
noteWhoso stoppeth hys eares at the
cryenge of the poore: he shall crye hym selfe,
and not be hearde. A preuy rewarde pacyfyeth
displeasure, and a gyfte in the bosome,
stylleth furiousnesse. The iuste delyteth in
doynge the thyng that is ryght: but ouer the
worckers of wyckednesse h&abar;geth destruccy&obar;.
The m&abar; that wandreth out of the waye
of wysdome, shall remayne &rhand; in the c&obar;gregacy&obar;
of the deed. noteHe that hath pleasure in
banckettes, shalbe a poore man.
C Whoso delyteth
in wyne and delycates, shall nott be
ryche. The vngodly shalbe geuen for the
ryghtewes: and the wycked for the iust.
noteIt is better to dwell in a wildernes then
with a chydynge ∧ an angrye woman. In a
wyse mannes house, there is greate treasure
and oyle: but a foolysh body spendeth vp all.
Whoso foloweth ryghteousnesse and mercy,
fyndeth bothe lyfe, ryghteousnesse, and
honoure. A wyse man wynneth the citye of
the myghtye: and as for the strength that
they trust in, he bryngeth it downe. noteWhoso
kepeth his mouth and hys tonge: the same
kepeth hys soule from troubles. He that is
proude and presumptuous, is called a scornefull
man, which in wrath darre worcke
malicyouslye.
D The volupteousnesse of the
slouthfull is hys awne death: for his handes
wyll not laboure. He coueteth and desyreth
all the daye longe: but the ryghteous is allwaye
geuynge, and kepeth nothynge backe.
The sacrifyce of the vngodly is abhominacyon:
howe moche more when they offre the
thynge that is gotten with wyckednesse?
noteA false wytnes shall peryshe: but he that
is a true man boldely speaketh that he hathe
heard. An vngodly man goeth forth rashly:
but the iust reformeth hys awne waye.
noteThere is no wisdome, there is no vnderstandynge,
there is no councell agaynst the
Lorde. noteThe horsse is prepared agaynst the
daye of battayll: but the Lorde geueth the
victorye.
