In context
16 A man that wandreth out of the way of wisdome, shall remaine in the congregation of the dead.
17 Hee that loueth pastime, shalbe a poore man: and he that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be riche.
18 The wicked shalbe a ransome for the iust, and the transgressour for the righteous.
19 It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and angry woman.
20 In the house of the wise is a pleasant treasure and oyle: but a foolish man deuoureth it.
21 He that followeth after righteousnes and mercy, shall finde life, righteousnes, and glory.
22 A wise man goeth vp into the citie of the mightie, and casteth downe the strength of the confidence thereof.
