Proverbs 15

Bishops(i) 1 A soft aunswere appeaseth wrath: but rough wordes stirre vp anger 2 The tongue of such as be wise vseth knoweledge aryght: as for a foolishe mouth it babbleth out nothyng but foolishnesse 3 The eyes of the Lorde in euery place, beholdeth both the good and the bad 4 A wholsome tongue is a tree of lyfe: but the frowardnesse therof doth make sad the spirite 5 A foole dispiseth his fathers correction: but he that taketh heede when he is reproued, shall haue the more vnderstandyng 6 The house of the ryghteous is full of riches: but in the fruites of the vngodly there is trouble 7 The lippes of the wise do sowe knowledge: but the heart of the foolishe do not so 8 The Lorde abhorreth the sacrifice of the vngodly: but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable vnto hym 9 The way of the vngodly is an abhomination vnto the Lorde: but who so foloweth righteousnesse, him he loueth 10 Correction is greeuous vnto hym that forsaketh the way: and who so hateth correction shall dye 11 Hell and destruction are before the Lorde: howe much more then the heartes of the children of men 12 A scornefull body loueth not one that rebuketh hym: neither wyll he come vnto the wyse 13 A mery heart maketh a chearfull countenaunce: but by the sorowe of the heart the mynde is heauy 14 The heart of hym that hath vnderstandyng doth seke knowledge: but the mouth of fooles is fed with foolishnesse 15 All the dayes of the poore are miserable: but a quiet heart is a continuall feast 16 Better is a litle with the feare of the Lorde: then great treasure, and trouble therwith 17 Better is a dynner of hearbes with loue, then a fat oxe with euyll wyll 18 An angry man stirreth vp strife: but he that is patient stylleth discorde 19 The way of a slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the ryghteous is playne 20 A wyse sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolishe man dispiseth his mother 21 Foolishnesse is ioy to him that is destitute of knowledge: but a man of vnderstandyng walketh vprightly 22 Thoughtes without counsayle shall come to naught: but wheras men are that can geue good counsayle, there is stedfastnesse 23 A ioyfull thing it is to a man whe his counsayle is folowed: and howe good is a worde spoken in season 24 The way of lyfe is on hygh to the wise, that a man shoulde beware of hell beneath 25 The Lorde wyll breake downe the house of the proude: but he shall make fast the borders of the wydowe 26 The Lorde abhorreth the imaginations of the wicked: but the wordes of the pure are pleasaunt 27 The greedy couetous man rooteth vp his owne house: but who so hateth rewardes shall lyue 28 The heart of the ryghteous studyeth his aunswere afore: but the wicked mans mouth spueth out mischiefe 29 The Lorde is farre from the vngodly: but he heareth the prayer of the ryghteous 30 The clearnes of the eye reioyseth the heart, & a good name feedeth the bones 31 The eare that hearkeneth to the refourmation of lyfe, shall dwell among the wyse 32 He that refuseth to be refourmed, dispiseth his owne soule: but he that submitteth him selfe to correction, is wyse 33 The feare of the Lorde is the ryght science of wisdome, and lowlynesse goeth before honour
