Chapter X.
[From this chapter to the fiue and twentieth, are sundry obseruations of morall vertues, and their contrary vices.]
1 The Prouerbes of Solomon: [ Pro_15:20 .] A wise sonne maketh a glad father: but a foolish sonne is the heauinesse of his mother.
2 [ Pro_11:4 .] Treasures of wickednesse profit nothing: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
3 [ Psa_37:25 .] The Lord will not suffer the soule of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away [ Or, the wicked for their wickednesse.] the substance of the wicked.
4 [ Pro_12:24 .] Hee becommeth poore that dealeth with a slacke hand: but the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.
5 Hee that gathereth in Summer, is a wise sonne: but hee that sleepeth in haruest, is a sonne that causeth shame.
6 Blessings are vpon the head of the iust: but [ Verse 11.] violence couereth the mouth of the wicked.
7 [ Psa_112:6 .] The memorie of the iust is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
8 The wise in heart will receiue commaundements: but a [ Hebrew: a foole of lips.] prating foole [ Or, shalbe beaten.] shall fall.
9 [ Psa_23:4 .] He that walketh vprightly, walketh surely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.
10 [ Pro_6:13 .] Hee that winketh with the eye, causeth sorrow: but a prating foole [ Or, shalbe beaten.] shall fall.
11 [ Pro_13:14 .] The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence couereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 [ 1Pe_4:8 ; 1Co_13:4 .] Hatred stirreth vp strifes: but loue couereth all sinnes.
13 In the lips of him that hath vnderstanding, wisedome is found: but a
[The good tongue.]
rod is for the backe of him that is voyd of [ Hebrew: heart.] vnderstanding.
14 Wise men lay vp knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is neere destruction.
15 [ Pro_18:11 .] The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: the destruction of the poore is their pouertie.
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruite of the wicked to sinne.
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but hee that refuseth reproofe, [ Or, causeth to erre.] erreth.
18 Hee that hideth hatred with lying lippes, and he that vttereth a slander, is a foole.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sinne: but he that refraineth his lippes, is wise.
20 The tongue of the iust is as choise siluer: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lippes of the righteous feed many: but fooles die for want [ Hebrew: of heart.] of wisedome.
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and hee addeth no sorrow with it.
23 [ Pro_14:9 .] It is as a sport to a foole to doe mischiefe: but a man of vnderstanding hath wisedome.
24 The feare of the wicked, it shall come vpon him: but the desire of the righteous shalbe granted.
25 As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an euerlasting foundation.
26 As vineger to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27 [ Pro_9:11 .] The feare of the Lord [ Hebrew: addeth.] prolongeth dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe shortened.
28 [ Job_8:13 ; Job_11:20 ; Psa_112:10 .] The hope of the righteous shall bee gladnesse: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29 The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright: but destruction shall bee to the workers of iniquitie.
30 [ Psa_125:1 ; Psa_37:22 .] The righteous shall neuer bee remooued: but the wicked shall not inhabite the earth.
31 The mouth of the iust bringeth foorth wisedome: but the froward tongue shalbe cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh [ Hebrew: frowardnesses.] frowardnesse.
