Why does it have strange spelling?
CHAP. XIX.
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his integrity, then he that is peruerse in his lippes, and is a foole.1
3 The foolishnesse of man peruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
4 Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.4
5 A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape.5
6 Many will entreate the fauour of the Prince: and euery man is a friend to him that giueth gifts.6
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.7
8 He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good.8
9 A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish.9
10 Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.10
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression.11
12 The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse.12
13 A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping.13
14 House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord.14
15 Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger.15
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die.16
17 Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe.17
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare for his crying.18
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe.19
20 Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the Lord, that shall stand.21
22 The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar.
24 A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe.24
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge.25
27 Cease, my sonne, to heare the instruction, that causeth to erre from the words of knowledge.
28 An vngodly witnesse scorneth iudgement: and the mouth of the wicked deuoureth iniquitie.28
29 Iudgements are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the backe of fooles.
