Chap. X.
Considering the great difference betwen wisdom and follie, 4. it behoueth to
resist vehement tentations diligently. 5. As when euil, & ignorant men
haue auctoritie ouer the wise. 8. The wicked often fal into their owne
snares, 10. are hard, yet not vnpossible to be corrected. 11. Detracters
are like serpents. 12. Wise graue princes are profitable; childish are hurtful
to the commonwealth; 18. which by their negligence tendeth to
ruine: 20. yet subiectes ought not to iudge euil of them.
1 Flies note dying marre the sweetnes of ointment. Wisdom
and glorie is more precious, then a litle and temporal
follie.
2 The hart of a wiseman is in his righthand, and the
-- --
hart of a foole is in his lefthand.
3 Yea and the foole walking
in the way, wheras himself is vnwise, estemeth al men fooles.
4 If the spirite of him that hath powre, ascend vpon thee,
leaue not thy place: because carefulnes wil make the greatest
sinnes to cease.
5 There is an euil that I haue sene vnder the
sunne, as it were by errour proceding from the face of the
prince:
6 a foole set in high dignitie, and the rich to sitte
beneth.
7 I haue sene note seruants vpon horses: and princes
walking on the ground as seruants.
8 He note that diggeth a
pitte, shal fal into it: and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent
shal bite him.
9 He that remoueth stones, shal be afflicted in
them: and he that cutteth trees, shal be wounded of them.
10 If the iron shal be blunt, and that not as before, but shal
be made blunt, it shal be sharpened by great labour, and after
industrie shal wisdom folow.
11 If a serpent bite in silence,
nothing lesse then it hath he, that detracteth secretly.
12 The
wordes of the mouth of a wiseman grace: and the lippes of
the vnwise shal throw him downe headlong.
13 The beginning
of his wordes is follie, and the later end of his mouth is
most wicked errour.
14 A foole multiplieth wordes. A man is
ignorant what hath bene before him: and what shal be after
him, who can tel him?
15 The labour of fooles shal afflict
them, that know not to goe into note the cittie.
16 09Q0295Woe to thee
รด land, whose king is a childe, and whose princes eate in the
morning.
17 Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, & whose
princes eate in their time to refection, and not to riotousnes.
18 In slouthfulnes the roofe of the house shal goe to ruine, &
in the infirmitie of the handes the house shal droppe through.
19 They make bread for laughter, and wine that liuing they
may make merie: and to money al thinges obey.
20 In thy cogitation
detract not from the king, and in the secret of thy
chamber curse not the richman: because euen the birdes of
the ayre wil carie thy voice, and he that hath winges wil declare
the sentence.
