Proverbs 16

1 (16:2) A man may wel purpose a thinge in his herte, but the answere of the tong commeth of the Lord, 2 (16:3) A man thynketh al his waies to be cleane, but it is 'fee Lord that fashyoneth the mindes 3 (16:4) Commit thy workes the Lord, and loke what thou deuisest, it shal prospere. 4 (16:5) The Lorde doth al thynges for hys owne sake, yea when he kepeth the vngodly for the day of wrath. 5 (16:6) The Lorde abhorreth all presumptuous & proude hertes, ther may neyther strength ner powere scape. 6 (16:7) With louyng mercye and fayethfulnesse synnes be forgeuen, and who so feareth the Lorde, he eschueth euell. 7 (16:8) When a mans ways please the Lord, he maketh his very enemies to be hys frendes. 8 (16:9) Better is it to haue a lyttle thinge with rightuousnes, then greate rentes wrngeously gotten. 9 (16:10) A man deuyseth awaye in his herte, but it is the Lorde that ordreth hys goynges. 10 (16:11) When the prophecye is in the lyppes of the kynge, hys mouth shal not go wronge in iudgment. 11 (16:12) A true measure and a true balaunce are the Lordes, he maketh all weightes. 12 (16:13) It is a great abhominatyon when kynges are wycked, for a kinges seat should be holden vp wyth ryghtuousnesse 13 (16:14) Ryghtuous lyppes are pleasaunte vnto kynges, and they loue hym that speaketh the trueth. 14 (16:15) The kynges dyspleasure is a messaunger of deathe, but a wyse man wyll pacyfye hym. 15 (16:16) The chearefull conntenaunce of the kynge is lyfe, and hys louynge fauoure is as the euenynge dewe. 16 (16:17) To haue wysdome in possesstion is better then gold, & to get vnderstanding is more worth then siluer. 17 (16:18) The path of 'fee rightuous eschueth euel, & who so loketh wel to his waies, kepeth hys owne soule. 18 (16:19) Presumptuousnes goth before destruction, & after aproud stomake ther foloweth a fall. 19 (16:20) Better is it to be of humble mynde with the lowly, then to deuyde the spoyles wyth the proud. 20 (16:21) He that handleth a matter wisely, opteineth good: and blessed is he, that putteth his trust in the Lord 21 (16:22) Who so hath a wyse vnderstanding, is called to councel but he that canne speake faire getteth more riches. 22 (16:23) Vnderstanding is a wel of lyfe vnto him that hath it, as for the chastenyng of foles, it is but folishnesse. 23 (16:24) The hert of the wyse enfourm his moueth, and amendeth the doctryne in his lyps. 24 (16:25) Fayre wordes are an hony combe, a refreshynge of the mynde, and helth of the bones. 25 (16:26) Ther is away 'fet men thinke to be right but the ende thereof leadeth vnto death. 26 (16:27) A troublous soule dysquyeteth her selfe, for her owne mouth hath brought her therto. 27 (16:28) An vngodly personne styreth vp euell, and in hys lipps he is as an whote burnyng fyre. 28 (16:29) A frowarde bodye causeth stryfe, and he that is a blabbe of his tonge, maketh deuisyon amonge princes. 29 (16:30) A wycked man begyleth hys neyghbour, and leadeth hym the waye that is not good. 30 (16:31) He that wyncketh wyth his eyes, ymagineth mischife: and he that byteth his lyppes wyll do some harme. 31 (16:32) Age is a crowne of worshippe, if it be founde in the waye of ryghtuousnes. 32 (16:33) A pacyente man is better then one stronge: and he that can rule him selfe, is more worth then he that winneth a city. 33 (16:34) The lotts are caste into the lappe, but there fal standeth in the Lorde.
