CHAP. XVIII.

1   
Through desire a man hauing note separated himselfe, seeketh and intermedleth with all wisedome.

2   
A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe.

3   
When the wicked commeth, then commeth also contempt, and with ignominie, reproch.

4   
noteThe words of a mans mouth, are as deepe waters, and the well-spring of wisedome as a flowing brooke.

5   
noteIt is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to ouerthrowe the righteous in iudgement.

6   
A fooles lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

7   
noteA fooles mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soule.

8   
noteThe words of a note tale bearer are note as wounds, and they goe downe into the note innermost parts of the belly.

9   
Hee also that is slouthful in his worke, is brother to him that is a great waster.

10   
noteThe name of the Lord is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and note is safe.

11   
noteThe rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit.

12   
noteBefore destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie.

13   
He that note answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him.

14   
The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare?

-- --

A false witnesse.

15   
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16   
noteA mans gift maketh roome for him, ∧ bringeth him before great men.

17   
He that is first in his owne cause, seemeth iust; but his neighbour commeth and searcheth him.

18   
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth betweene the mighty.

19   
A brother offended is harder to be wonne then a strong citie: and their contentions are like the barres of a castle.

20   
noteA mans belly shall be satisfied with the fruite of his mouth; and with the increase of his lippes shall he be filled.

21   
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that loue it shall eate the fruite thereof.

22   
noteWho so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth fauour of the Lord.

23   
The poore vseth intreaties, but the rich answereth note roughly.

24   
A man that hath friends must shewe himselfe friendly: note and there is a friend that sticketh closer then a brother. 647
