11Verse 1False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.Verse 2When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.Verse 3The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.Verse 4Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.Verse 5The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.Verse 6The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.Verse 7When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.Verse 8The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.Verse 9An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.Verse 10In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.Verse 11By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.Verse 12He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.Verse 13Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.Verse 14Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.Verse 15Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.Verse 16A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.Verse 17Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.Verse 18The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.Verse 19As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.Verse 20They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.Verse 21Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.Verse 22As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.Verse 23The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.Verse 24There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.Verse 25The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.Verse 26He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.Verse 27He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.Verse 28He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.Verse 29He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.Verse 30The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.Verse 31Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
