1
|
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof brutish. |
|
|
|
2
|
A good obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. |
|
|
|
3
|
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. |
|
|
|
4
|
A virtuous woman a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed as rottenness in his bones. |
|
|
|
5
|
The thoughts of the righteous right: the counsels of the wicked deceit. |
|
|
|
6
|
The words of the wicked to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. |
|
|
|
7
|
The wicked are overthrown, and not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. |
|
|
|
8
|
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. |
|
|
|
9
|
He that is despised, and hath a servant, better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. |
|
|
|
10
|
A righteous regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked cruel. |
|
|
|
11
|
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain void of understanding. |
|
|
|
12
|
The wicked desireth the net of evil : but the root of the righteous yieldeth . |
|
|
|
13
|
The wicked is snared by the transgression of lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. |
|
|
|
14
|
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. |
|
|
|
15
|
The way of a fool right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel wise. |
|
|
|
16
|
A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent covereth shame. |
|
|
|
17
|
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. |
|
|
|
18
|
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise health. |
|
|
|
19
|
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue but for a moment. |
|
|
|
20
|
Deceit in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace joy. |
|
|
|
21
|
There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. |
|
|
|
22
|
Lying lips abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly his delight. |
|
|
|
23
|
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. |
|
|
|
24
|
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. |
|
|
|
25
|
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. |
|
|
|
26
|
The righteous more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. |
|
|
|
27
|
The slothful roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man precious. |
|
|
|
28
|
In the way of righteousness life; and the pathway no death. |
