Chap. XX.
note
Correction ought to be without passion of anger. 5. much discretion is required
in speach, and in silence. 14. Also in geuing, 20. & promising, 29. and in
vttering knowlege, where and when it behoueth.
1 How good a thing is it to rebuke, rather then to be angrie,
and not to hinder him that confesseth in prayer!
2 The concupiscence of an eunuch shal defloure a young
maide:
3 so he that by violence doth vniust iudgement.
4 How good a thing is it note being rebuked to shew repentance!
for so thou shalt auoid wilful sinne.
5 There is that holdeth
his peace, which is found wise: and there is that is odious, he
which is malepert to speake.
6 There is that holdeth his peace
hauing not vnderstanding to speake: and there is that holdeth
his peace, knowing the time of fitte opportunitie.
7 A wise
man wil hold his peace vntil a time: but a wanton, and the
vnwise wil not obserue time.
8 He that vseth manie wordes,
shal hurt his owne soule: & he that taketh authoritie to himself
vniustly, shal be hated.
9 There is proceding in euils to a
man without discipline, and there is finding to losse.
10 There
is a gift, that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the reward
whereof is duble.
11 There is debasing because of glorie: and
there is that from humilitie shal lift vp the head.
12 There is
that redemeth manie thinges for a smale price, and restoreth
the same seuen fold.
13 A man wise in wordes shal make him
selfe beloued: but the graces of fooles shal be powred out.
14 The gift of the vnwise shal not be profitable for thee: for
his eies are note seuenfold.
15 He wil geue few thinges, and vpbraide
manie: and the opening of his mouth is an inflammation.
16 To day a man lendeth, and to morow he asketh it againe:
such a man is odious.
17 A foole shal haue no freind,
and there shal be no thanke to his goodes.
18 For they that
eate his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how
manie wil laugh him to scorne?
19 For he doth not distribute
with right vnderstanding, that which was to be had: in like
manner also that which was not to be had.
20 The slipping
of a false tongue, as he that falleth on the pauement: so the
falles of the euil shal come hastely.
21 A man without grace
is as a vaine fable, it shal be continual in the mouth of them
that are without discipline.
22 A parable out of a fooles
-- --
mouth shal be reiected: for he doth not speake it in his time.
23 There is that is forbid to sinne for pouertie, and in his rest
he shal be pricked.
24 There is that wil destroy his soule for
shamfastnes, and by an vnwise person he wil destroy it: and by
acception of person he wil destroy himself.
25 There is that
for shamfastnes promiseth to his freind, and hath gotten an
enemie of him for naught.
26 Lying is a wicked reproch in a
man, and in the mouth of men without discipline it shal be
continually.
27 Better is a theefe, then the continual custome
of a lying man, but both shal inherite perdition.
28 The maners
of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with
them without intermission.
29 A wiseman in his wordes shal
vtter himself, and a prudent man shal please great persons.
30 He that tilleth his land, shal make an high heape of corne:
and who so worketh iustice, he shal be exalted: and he that
pleaseth great men, shal avoide iniquitie.
31 Presentes, & giftes
blind the eies of iudges, and as one dumbe in the mouth turneth
away their chastisementes.
32 noteWisdom hid, and treasure
not sene: what profit is there in both?
33 noteBetter is he that
concealeth his foolishnes, then the man that hideth his
wisdom.
