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.
23 He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from afflictions.
24 Proude, hautie and scornefull is his name that worketh in his arrogancie wrath.
25 The desire of the slouthfull slayeth him: for his hands refuse to worke.
26 He coueteth euermore greedily, but the righteous giueth and spareth not.
