5 A man that flattereth his neighbour, sprea deth a net for his steppes.
6 In the transgression of an euil man (is) his snare: but the righteous doeth sing and re∣ioyce.
7 The righteous knoweth the cause of the poore: (but) the wicked regardeth not know ledge.
8 Scornful men bring a citie into a snare: but wise men turne away wrath.
9 (If) a wise man contend with a foolish man whether he be angrie or laugh, there (is) no rest.
10 Bloodie men hate him that is vpright: but the iuste haue care of his soule.
11 A foole powreth out all his minde: but a wise man kepeth it in til afterwarde.
12 Of a prince that hearkeneth to lyes, all his seruants (are) wicked.
13 * The poore and the vsurer mete together, (and) the Lord lighteneth bothe their eyes.
14 * A King that iudgeth the poore in trueth, his throne shalbe established for euer.
15 The rodde & correction giue wisdome: but a childe set at libertie, maketh his mother ashamed.
16 When the wicked are increased, transges∣siō increaseth: but the righteous shal se their fall.
17 Correct thy sonne and he wil giue thee rest and wil giue pleasures to thy soule.
18 Where there (is) no vision, the people de∣cay: but he that kepeth the Law, (is) 〈◊〉〈◊〉
19 A seruant wil not be chastised with wordes thogh he vnderstand, yet he wil not an∣swere.
20 Seest thou a mā hastie in his matters? (there is) more hope of a foole, then of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth vp his seruant from yough, at length he wil be euen (as) his sonne.
22 * An angrie man stirreth vp strife, and a fu∣rious man abundeth in 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
23 * The pride of a man shal bring him lowe: but the humble in spirit shal enioye glorie.
24 He that is partener with a thief, hateth his owne soule: he heareth cursing, & declareth it not.
25 The feare of man bringeth a snare: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shalbe exalted.
26 Manie do seke the face of the ruler: but eue rie mans iudgement (commeth) from the Lord.
27 A wicked man (is) abominacion to the iust, and he that is vpright in (his) way, (is) abomi∣nacion to the wicked.
