  • Prov 27:1-28:28 : 1 Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thine owne mouth: a stranger, and not thine owne lips. 3 A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both. 4 Anger is cruell, and wrath is raging: but who can stand before enuie? 5 Open rebuke is better then secret loue. 6 The wounds of a louer are faithful, and the kisses of an enemie are pleasant. 7 The person that is full, despiseth an hony combe: but vnto the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete. 8 As a bird that wandreth from her nest, so is a man that wandreth from his owne place. 9 As oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart, so doeth the sweetenes of a mans friend by hearty counsell. 10 Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off. 11 My sonne, be wise, and reioyce mine heart, that I may answere him that reprocheth me. 12 A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himselfe: but the foolish goe on still, and are punished. 13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger. 14 He that prayseth his friend with a loude voyce, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse. 15 A continual dropping in the day of raine, and a contentious woman are alike. 16 He that hideth her, hideth the winde, & she is as ye oyle in his right hand, that vttereth it selfe. 17 Yron sharpeneth yron, so doeth man sharpen the face of his friend. 18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eate the fruite thereof: so he that waiteth vpon his master, shall come to honour. 19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. 20 The graue and destruction can neuer be full, so the eyes of man can neuer be satisfied. 21 As is the fining pot for siluer and the fornace for golde, so is euery man according to his dignitie. 22 Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate brayed with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnes depart from him. 23 Be diligent to know ye state of thy flocke, and take heede to the heardes. 24 For riches remaine not alway, nor the crowne from generation to generation. 25 The hey discouereth it selfe, and the grasse appeareth, and the herbes of the mountaines are gathered. 26 The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of the fielde. 27 And let the milke of the goates be sufficient for thy foode, for the foode of thy familie, and for the sustenance of thy maydes. 1 The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon. 2 For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long. 3 A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode. 4 They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them. 5 Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things. 6 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche. 7 He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father. 8 He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore. 9 He that turneth away his eare fro hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable. 10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shal fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things. 11 The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him. 12 When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried. 13 He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy. 14 Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shal fall into euill. 15 As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people. 16 A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes. 17 A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him. 18 He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall. 19 He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie. 20 A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent. 21 To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread. 22 A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him. 23 He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue. 24 Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth. 25 He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lorde, shall be fatte. 26 Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered. 27 He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses. 28 When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.

    7Then saide Saul vnto his seruants, Seeke me a woman that hath a familiar spirite, that I may goe to her, and aske of her; his seruants said to him, Beholde, there is a woman at En-dor that hath a familiar spirit.

    8Then Saul changed him selfe, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he saide, I pray thee, coniecture vnto me by the familiar spirite, and bring me him vp whome I shall name vnto thee.

    16Then said Samuel, Wherefore then doest thou aske of me, seeing the Lord is gone from thee, and is thine enemie?
