CHAP. XVIII.
1Through desire a man hauing separated himselfe, seeketh and intermedleth with all wisedome.1
2A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe.
3When the wicked commeth, then commeth also contempt, and with ignominie, reproch.
4The words of a mans mouth, are as deepe waters, and the well-spring of wisedome as a flowing brooke.4
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to ouerthrowe the righteous in iudgement.5
6A fooles lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
7A fooles mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soule.7
8The words of a tale bearer are as wounds, and they goe downe into the innermost parts of the belly.8
9Hee also that is slouthful in his worke, is brother to him that is a great waster.
10The name of the Lord is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.10
11The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit.11
12Before destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie.12
13He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him.13
14The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare?
15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16A mans gift maketh roome for him, & bringeth him before great men.16
17He that is first in his owne cause, seemeth iust; but his neighbour commeth and searcheth him.
18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth betweene the mighty.
20A mans belly shall be satisfied with the fruite of his mouth; and with the increase of his lippes shall he be filled.20
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that loue it shall eate the fruite thereof.
22Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtaineth fauour of the Lord.22
23The poore vseth intreaties, but the rich answereth roughly.23
24A man that hath friends must shewe himselfe friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer then a brother.24
