[1] A false ballaunce is an abomination vnto the Lorde: but a true wayght pleaseth him
[2] Where pryde is, there is shame also and confusion: but wheras is lowlinesse, there is wisdome
[3] The innocent dealyng of the iust shall leade them: but the wickednesse of the offendours shalbe their owne destruction
[4] Riches helpe not in the day of vengeaunce: but ryghteousnesse deliuereth from death
[5] The ryghteousnesse of the innocent ordereth his way: but the vngodly shall fall in his owne wickednesse
[6] The righteousnesse of the iust shall delyuer them: but the wicked shalbe taken in their owne vngodlynesse
[7] When an vngodly man dyeth, his hope is gone: the confidence of riches shall perishe
[8] The ryghteous shalbe delyuered out of trouble: and the vngodly shall come in his steade
[9] The dissembler with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the iust be deliuered
[10] When it goeth well with the ryghteous the citie is mery: and when the vngodly perishe there is gladnesse
[11] In the blessyng of the ryghteous the citie is exalted: but it is ouerthrowen by the mouth of the wicked
[12] A foole slaundereth his neyghbour: but a wise man holdeth his peace
[13] A dissemblyng person wyll discouer priuie thynges: but he that is of a faythfull heart wyll kepe counsayle
[14] Where no counsayle is, there the people decay: but wheras many are that can geue counsayle, there is wealth
[15] He that is suretie for a straunger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretishyp is sure
[16] A gratious woman getteth honour: but the strong men attayne riches
[17] He that is mercifull, doth hym selfe a benefite: but who so hurteth his neyghbour, is a tiraunt
[18] The vngodly worketh deceiptfull workes: but he that soweth righteousnesse shall receaue a sure rewarde
[19] Lyke as ryghteousnesse bringeth lyfe: euen so to cleaue vnto euyll, bryngeth death
[20] The Lorde abhorreth them that be of a corrupt heart: but he hath pleasure in them that are of an vndefiled conuersation
[21] Though hand be ioyned in hande, yet the wicked shall not escape: but the seede of the ryghteous shalbe preserued
[22] A faire woman without discrete maners, is lyke a ryng of golde in a swines snoute
[23] The desire of the ryghteous is acceptable: but the hope of the vngodly is indignation
[24] Some man geueth out his goodes and is the richer: but the niggarde hauyng inough, wyll depart from nothyng, and yet is euer in pouertie
[25] He that is liberall in geuyng, shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shalbe watered also hym selfe
[26] Who so hoordeth vp his corne, shalbe cursed among the people: but blessyng shall lyght vpon his head that geueth foode
[27] He that searcheth for good thynges fyndeth fauour: but who so seketh after mischiefe, it shall happen vnto hym
[28] He that trusteth in his riches shall haue a fall: but the ryghteous shall florishe as the greene leafe
[29] Who so maketh disquietnesse in his owne house, he shal haue winde for his heritage: and the foole shalbe seruaunt to the wise
[30] The fruite of the ryghteous is a tree of life: and he that winneth mens soules is wise
[31] If the ryghteous be recompensed vpon earth: howe much more then the vngodly and the sinner
