23 The feare of the LORDE preserueth the life, yee it geueth pleteousnes, without the visitacio of any plage.
24 A slouthfull body shuteth his honde in to his bosome, so yt he can not put it to his mouth.
25 Yf thou smytest a scorneful personne, the ignoraut shal take better hede: & yf thou reprouest one yt hath vnderstondinge, he wil be ye wyser.
26 He yt hurteth his father or shuteth out his mother, is a shamefull & an vnworthy sonne.
27 My sonne, heare nomore the doctrine yt leadeth the awaye from the wordes of vnderstondinge.
28 A false wytnes laugheth iudgmet to scorne, & the mouth of the vngodly eateth vp wickednes.
29 Punyshmentes are ordened for the scornefull, and stripes for fooles backes.
