| 1 | A wijs sone is the teching of the fadir; but he that is a scornere, herith not, whanne he is repreuyd. |
| 2 | A man schal be fillid with goodis of the fruit of his mouth; but the soule of vnpitouse men is wickid. |
| 3 | He that kepith his mouth, kepith his soule; but he that is vnwar to speke, schal feel yuels. |
| 4 | A slow man wole, and wole not; but the soule of hem that worchen schal be maad fat. |
| 5 | A iust man schal wlate a fals word; but a wickid man schendith, and schal be schent. |
| 6 | Riytfulnesse kepith the weie of an innocent man; but wickidnesse disseyueth a synnere. |
| 7 | A man is as riche, whanne he hath no thing; and a man is as pore, whanne he is in many richessis. |
| 8 | Redempcioun of the soule of man is hise richessis; but he that is pore, suffrith not blamyng. |
| 9 | The liyt of iust men makith glad; but the lanterne of wickid men schal be quenchid. |
| 10 | Stryues ben euere a mong proude men; but thei that don alle thingis with counsel, ben gouerned bi wisdom. |
| 11 | Hastid catel schal be maad lesse; but that that is gaderid litil and litil with hond, schal be multiplied. |
| 12 | Hope which is dilaied, turmentith the soule; a tre of lijf is desir comyng. |
| 13 | He that bacbitith ony thing, byndith hym silf in to tyme to comynge; but he that dredith the comaundement, schal lyue in pees. |
| 14 | The lawe of a wise man is a welle of lijf; that he bowe awei fro the falling of deth. |
| 15 | Good teching schal yyue grace; a swolowe is in the weie of dispiseris. |
| 16 | A fel man doith alle thingis with counsel; but he that is a fool, schal opene foli. |
| 17 | The messanger of a wickid man schal falle in to yuel; a feithful messanger is helthe. |
| 18 | Nedynesse and schenschip is to him that forsakith techyng; but he that assentith to a blamere, schal be glorified. |
| 19 | Desir, if it is fillid, delitith the soule; foolis wlaten hem that fleen yuels. |
| 20 | He that goith with wijs men, schal be wijs; the freend of foolis schal be maad lijk hem. |
| 21 | Yuel pursueth synneris; and goodis schulen be yoldun to iust men. |
| 22 | A good man schal leeue aftir him eiris, sones, and the sones of sones; and the catel of a synnere is kept to a iust man. |
| 23 | Many meetis ben in the new tilid feeldis of fadris; and ben gaderid to othere men with out doom. |
| 24 | He that sparith the yerde, hatith his sone; but he that loueth him, techith bisili. |
| 25 | A iust man etith, and fillith his soule; but the wombe of wickid men is vnable to be fillid. |
