Proverbs 22 A Good name is more worth then greate rychesse, and louinge fauoure is better then siluer and golde.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Good name is more worth then greate rychesse, and louinge fauoure is better then siluer and golde. ² The ryche and poore are together: the Lorde is the maker of them all. ³ A wyse man seeth the plage, and hydeth hym selfe: but the folysh go on styll and are punysshed. ⁴ The ende of lowlynes and the feare of God is ryches, honoure, prosperite, and health. ⁵ Thornes and snares are in the waye of the frowarde: but he that doeth kepe hys soule, wyll fle from soche. ⁶ Teache a chylde in hys youth what waye he shulde go: for he shall not leaue it, when he is olde. ⁷ The ryche ruleth the poore: & the borower is seruaunt to the lender. ⁸ He that soweth wyckednesse shall reape sorowe: and the rodde of hys crueltye shall peryshe. ⁹ He that hath a louynge eye shalbe blessed: for he geueth of his breed vnto the poore. ¹⁰ Cast out the scornefull man, and so shall stryfe go out wt hym: yee, variaunce & sclaunder shall cease. ¹¹ Whoso delyteth to be of a cleane herte and of gracyous lyppes, the kynge shall be his frende. ¹² The eyes of the Lorde preserue knowledge, but as for the wordes of the despytefull, he bringeth them to naught. ¹³ The slouthfull body sayeth: there is a lyon without, I myght be slayn in the strete. ¹⁴ The mouth of an harlot is a depe pyt, wherin he falleth that the Lorde is angrie wyth all. ¹⁵ Folyshnes stycketh in the herte of the lad, & the rodd of correccion shall dryue it awaye. ¹⁶ Who so doth a poore man wronge to increase his awne riches, & geueth vnto the riche to please him, at the last commeth to pouerte him selfe. ¹⁷ My sonne, bowe downe thyne eare, and herken vnto the wordes of wysedome, applye thy mynde vnto my doctryne: ¹⁸ for thou shalt be excellent yf thou kepe it in thine herte, & practise it in thy mouth: ¹⁹ that thou mayest put thy trust in the Lorde. I haue shewed the this daye the thynge the thou knowest. ²⁰ Haue not I warned the very oft with councel & learnyng? ²¹ that I might shew the the truth, and that thou with the verite myghtest answere them that sende vnto the? ²² Se that thou robbe not the poore, because he is weake, & oppresse not the simple in iudgment: ²³ for the Lord him selfe will defende their cause, & do violence vnto them that haue vsed violence. ²⁴ Make no frendshype wt an angrye wilfull man, & kepe no company wt the furious: ²⁵ lest thou learne his wayes, & receaue hurte in thy soule. ²⁶ Be not thou one of them that bynde theyr hande vpon promyse, & are suertie for wayghty causes: ²⁷ for yf thou hast nothyng to paye, they shall take awaye thy bed from vnder the. ²⁸ Thou shalt not remoue the lande marcke, which thy fore elders haue sett. ²⁹ Seest thou not, that they which be diligent in theyr busynes, stande before kynges and not amonge the symple people?
