Proverbs 10

^{1 !} In this chapter and all that followe vnto the thirtieth, the wise man exhorteth by diuers sentences, which he calleth parables, to followe vertue, and flee vice: and sheweth also what profite commeth of wisdome, & what hinderance proceadeth of foolishnes.

^{2 a} That is, wickedly gotten.

^{3 b} Thogh he suffer the juste to want for a time, yet he wil send him comforte in due season.

^{4 /} Or, deceiful.

^{6 c} When their wickednes shalbe discouered, thei shal be as dumme, & not knowe what to say.

^{7 d} Shal be vile and abhorred bothe of god and man contrarie to their owne expectation, which thinke to make their name immortal.

^{8 /} Ebr. lippes.

^{9 /} Or, surely.

^{10 e} He that beareth a faire countenance, & imagineth mischief in his heart, as {Chap. 6,13}

^{10 f} For the corruption of his heart is knowen by his talke.

^{13 g} That is, God wil finde him out to punish him.

^{15 h} And so maketh him bolde to do euil, where as pouertie brideleth the poore from manie euil things.

^{21 i} For they speake trueth and edifie manie by exhortations, admonition and counsel.

^{22 k} Meaning, that all worldlie things bring care & sorow, where as they that feele the blessings of God, haue none.

^{26 l} He is but a trouble, and grief to him that setteth him about anie busines.

^{27 m} The times of their prosperitie shalbe shrot, because of their great fall, thogh thei seme to liue long.

^{30 n} They enjoye in this life by faith, and hope their euerlasting life.
