Proverbs 10

Matthew(i) 1 The Parables of Salomon. A wyse sonne maketh a glad father, but an vndiscrete sonne is the heuinesse of hys mother. 2 Treasures that are wyckedlye gotten, profit nothing, but rightuousnesse deliuereth from death, 3 The lorde wyll not let the soule of the ryghtuous suffer honger, but he putteth the vngodly from his desire. 4 An ydle hand maketh pore, but a quicke laboryng hand maketh ryche. 5 Who so gathereth in Sommer, is wyse: but he that is slougysh in haruest, bryngeth him selfe to confusyon. 6 Louynge and fauourable is the face of the rightuous, but the forehead of the vngodly is past shame and presumptuous. 7 The memoryall of the iust shall haue a good reporte but the name of the vngodly shal styncke. 8 A wyse man wyll receyue warnyng, but a fole wyll soner be smytten in the face. 9 He that leadeth an innocente lyfe, walketh surelye: but who so goeth a wrong way, shalbe knowne, 10 He that wyncketh wyth hys eye, wyl do some harme: but he that hath a folysh mouth shalbe beaten. 11 The mouth of a ryghtuos man is a wele of lyfe, but the mouth of the vngodly is past shame, and presumptuous. 12 Euyll wyll stereth vp strife, but loue couereth the multytude of synnes. 13 In the lyppes of hym that hath vnderstandynge a man shall fynde wysdome, but the rod belongeth to the backe of the folysh. 14 Wyse men laie vp knowledge, but the mouth of the folysh is nye destruction. 15 The rich mans goodes are his strong hold, but pouerte oppresseth the poore. 16 The ryghtwyse laboureth to do good, but the vngodly vseth his encrease vnto sinne. 17 To take hede vnto the chastenyng of nurtoure, is the way of lyfe: but he that refuseth to be refourmed, goeth wrong. 18 Dissembling lippes kepe hatred secretly, and he that speaketh any sclander, is a foole. 19 Where much babling is, ther must nedes be offence: he that refraineth his lippes is wisest of all. 20 An innocent tong is a noble treasure, but the hert of the vngodly is nothynge worthe. 21 The lyppes of the rightuous fed a whole multitude, but foles shal die in their owne folye. 22 The blessing of the Lord maketh rich men, as for carefull trauayle, it doth nothynge therto. 23 A fole doth wyckedly and maketh but a sport of it: neuerthelesse it is wysdome for a man to beware of suche. 24 The thinge that the vngodly are afrayed of, shall come vpon them, but the rightuous shall haue their desyre. 25 The vngodly is lyke a tempest that passeth ouer, and is no more sene but the rightuous remayneth sure for eue 26 As vyneger is to the tethe, and as smoke is vnto the eyes, euen so sa slougysh person to them that send him forth. 27 The feare of the Lorde maketh a long lyfe but the yeares of the vngodly shalbe shortened. 28 The paciente abydynge of the rightuous shalbe turned to gladness, but the hope of the vngodli shal perish. 29 The waye of the Lorde geueth a corage vnto the godly, but it is a fear for wicked doers 30 The righteuous shall neuer be ouerthrowen but the vngodly shal remaine in the land. 31 The mouth of the iust wilbe talkyng of wisdome, but the tonge of the frowarde shall perysh. 32 The lyppes of the ryghtuous are occupied in acceptable thinges, but the mouth of the vngodly take them to the worst.
