8   
A man shall be commended according to his wisedome: but hee that is note of a peruerse heart, shall be despised.

9

15

16   
A fooles wrath is note presently knowen: but a prudent man couereth shame.

17   
noteHe that speaketh trueth, sheweth foorth righteousnesse: but a false witnesse, deceit.

18   
noteThere is that speaketh like the pearcings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

19   
The lippe of trueth shall bee established for euer: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20   
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine euill: but to the counsellours of peace, is ioy.

21   
There shall no euill happen to the iust: but the wicked shall bee filled with mischiefe.

22   
Lying lippes are abomination to the Lord: but they that deale truely, are his delight.

23   
noteA prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fooles proclaimeth foolishnesse.

24   
noteThe hand of the diligent shall beare rule: but the note slouthfull shall bee vnder tribute. The sluggard.

25   
noteHeauinesse in the heart of man maketh it stoope: but a good word maketh it glad.

26   
The righteous is more note excellent then his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

27   
The slouthfull man rosteth not that which he tooke in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

28   
In the way of righteousnesse is life, and in the path-way thereof there is no death. 641
