  • Prov 27:1-28:28 : 1 Make not thy boast of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring foorth. 2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thyne owne mouth, yea other folkes, and not thyne owne lippes. 3 The stone is heauie, and the sande wayghtie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both. 4 Wrath is a cruell thing, and furiousnesse is a very tempest: but who is able to abide enuie? 5 Open rebuke, is better then secrete loue. 6 Faythfull are the woundes of a louer: but the kysses of an enemie are cruell. 7 He that is full, abhorreth an honye combe: but vnto hym that is hungrye, euery sowre thing is sweete. 8 He that oft times flitteth, is like a byrd that forsaketh her nest. 9 Baulme and sweete incense make the heart merie: so sweete is that frende that geueth counsell from the heart. 10 Thyne owne frende and thy fathers frende see thou forsake not, and go not into thy brothers house in tyme of thy trouble: for better is a frende at hand, then a brother farre of. 11 My sonne be wyse, and make me a glad heart, that I may make aunswere vnto my rebukers. 12 A wyse man seing the plague, wyll hide hym selfe: as for fooles they go on styll and suffer harme. 13 Take his garment that is suretie for a straunger, and take a pledge of hym for the vnknowen sake. 14 He that is to hastie to praise his neighbour aboue measure, shalbe taken as one that geueth hym an euyll report. 15 A brawling woman and the roofe of the house dropping in a raynie day, may well be compared together. 16 He that stilleth her, stilleth the winde, and stoppeth the smell of the oyntment in his hande. 17 Like as one iron whetteth another, so doth one man comfort another. 18 Whoso kepeth his figge tree, shall eate the fruites thereof: so he that wayteth vpon his maister, shall come to honour. 19 Like as in one water there appeare diuers faces: euen so diuers men haue diuers heartes. 20 Hell and destruction are neuer full: euen so the eyes of men can neuer be satisfied. 21 As is the fining pot for the siluer, and the furnace for golde: so is a man tryed by the mouth of him that prayseth him. 22 Though thou shouldest bray a foole with a pestel in a morter like furmentie corne: yet wyll not his foolishnes go from hym. 23 Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy cattell thy selfe, and loke well to thy flockes. 24 For riches abideth not alway, and the crowne endureth not for euer. 25 The hay groweth, the grasse commeth vp, and hearbes are gathered in the mountaynes. 26 The lambes shall clothe thee, and for the goates thou shalt haue money to thy husbandry. 27 Thou shalt haue goates milke inough to feede thee, to vpholde thy housholde, and to sustayne thy maydens. 1 The vngodly fleeth when no man pursueth him: but the righteous are bolde as a Lion. 2 For the wickednes of the lande, the prince is oft chaunged: but thorowe a man of vnderstanding and wysdome, a realme endureth long. 3 One poore man oppressing another by violence, is like a raging rayne that destroyeth the fruite. 4 They that forsake the lawe, prayse the vngodly: but such as kepe the lawe are greeued at them. 5 Wicked men vnderstande not iudgement: but they that seeke the Lord, vnderstande all thinges. 6 Better is he that walketh in his vprightnes: then he that peruerteth his wayes, and is riche. 7 Who so kepeth the lawe, is a chylde of vnderstanding: but he that is a companion of riotous men, shameth his father. 8 He that by vsurie and vniust gaynes gathereth riches: he shall lay them in store for a man that will pitie the poore. 9 He that turneth away his eare from hearing the lawe, his prayer shalbe abhominable. 10 Who so causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit: but the iust shall haue the good in possession. 11 The riche man thinketh hym selfe to be wise: but the poore that hath vnderstandyng can perceaue hym well inough. 12 When righteous men do reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tryed. 13 He that hydeth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but whoso knowledgeth them and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy. 14 Well is hym that standeth alway in awe: as for hym that hardeneth his heart, he shall fall into mischiefe. 15 As a roaring Lion and an hungrye Beare, so is an vngodly prince ouer the poore people. 16 Where the prince is without vnderstanding, there is great oppression and wrong: but if he hateth couetousnes, he shall long raigne. 17 He that by violence shedeth any mans blood, shalbe a runnagate vnto his graue, and no man shalbe able to succour hym. 18 Whoso leadeth an innocent life, shalbe saued: but he that goeth frowarde wayes, shall once haue a fall. 19 He that tylleth his lande shall haue plenteousnes of bread: but he that foloweth idle persons, shall haue pouertie inough. 20 A faythfull man shalbe fylled with blessinges, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be vngyltie. 21 To haue respect of persons in iudgement is not good, for that man wyll do wrong, yea euen for a peece of bread. 22 He that wyll be riche all to soone, hath an euyll eye: and considereth not that pouertie shall come vpon hym. 23 He that folowyng my preceptes rebuketh a man, shall fynde more fauour at the last then he that flattereth hym. 24 Who so robbeth his father and mother, and sayth it is no sinne: the same is the companion of a destroyer. 25 He that is of a proude stomacke stirreth vp strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lorde shalbe well fed. 26 He that trusteth in his owne heart is a foole: but he that dealeth wisely shalbe safe. 27 He that geueth vnto the poore shall not lacke: but he that hydeth his eyes from them, shall haue many a curse. 28 When the vngodly are come vp, men are fayne to hide themselues: but when they perishe, the ryghteous encrease.
