Proverbs 24:24-34 ▼

24 He yt saieth to ye vngodly: thou art rightuous, him shall the people curse, yee ye comotie shal abhorre him.

25 But they yt rebuke ye vngodly shalbe comended, & a riche blessinge shal come vpo the.

26 He maketh him self to be well loued, that geueth a good answere.

27 First make vp yi worke yt is wt out, & loke well vnto yt which thou hast in ye felde, & the buylde thine house.

28 Be no false wytnesse agaynst yi neghbor, & hurte him not wt yi lyppes.

29 Saye not: I wil hadle him, eue as he hath dealte wt me, & wil rewarde euery ma acordinge to his dedes.

30 I wente by ye felde of ye slouthfull, & by ye vynyarde of the foolish ma.

31 And lo, it was all couered wt nettels, & stode full of thistles, & ye stone wall was broke downe.

32 This I sawe, & cosidered it wel: I loked vpo it, & toke it for a warnynge.

33 Yee slepe on still a litle, slobre a litle, folde thine hodes together yet a litle:

34 so shall pouerte come vnto the as one yt trauayleth by ye waye, & necessite like a wapened man.
