1<\/sup>THE sluggard is pelted with a dirty stone, and all men will speak of his disgrace.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>The sluggard is pelted with the dung of oxen: and every one that toucheth him will shake his hands.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>A son ill taught is the confusion of the father: and a foolish daughter shall be to his loss.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that confoundeth, becometh a disgrace to her father.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>She that is bold shameth both her father and husband, and will not be inferior to the ungodly: and shall be disgraced by them both.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>A tale out of time is like music in mourning: but the stripes and instruction of wisdom are never out of time.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this?<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>For the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Talk not much with a fool, and go not with him that hath no sense.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool?<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>Sand and salt, and a mass of iron is easier to bear, than a man without sense, that is both foolish and wicked.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind:<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship.<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>Although thou hast drawn a sword at a friend, despair not: for there may be a returning. To a friend,<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice.<\/span> <\/p>\n 29<\/sup>In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance.<\/span> <\/p>\n 30<\/sup>As the vapour of a chimney, and the smoke of the fire goeth up before the fire: so also injurious words, and reproaches, and threats, before blood.<\/span> <\/p>\n 31<\/sup>I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 32<\/sup>But every one that shall hear it, will beware of him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 33<\/sup>Who will set a guard before my mouth, and a sure seal upon my lips, that I fall not by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?<\/span> <\/p>\n
