1
|
Better the poor that walketh in his integrity, than perverse in his lips, and is a fool. |
|
|
|
2
|
Also, the soul without knowledge, not good; and he that hasteth with feet sinneth. |
|
|
|
3
|
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. |
|
|
|
4
|
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. |
|
|
|
5
|
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and speaketh lies shall not escape. |
|
|
|
6
|
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man a friend to him that giveth gifts. |
|
|
|
7
|
All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth words, they wanting . |
|
|
|
8
|
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. |
|
|
|
9
|
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and speaketh lies shall perish. |
|
|
|
10
|
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. |
|
|
|
11
|
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and his glory to pass over a transgression. |
|
|
|
12
|
The king's wrath as the roaring of a lion; but his favour as dew upon the grass. |
|
|
|
13
|
A foolish son the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife a continual dropping. |
|
|
|
14
|
House and riches the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife from the LORD. |
|
|
|
15
|
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. |
|
|
|
16
|
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; he that despiseth his ways shall die. |
|
|
|
17
|
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. |
|
|
|
18
|
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. |
|
|
|
19
|
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver , yet thou must do it again. |
|
|
|
20
|
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. |
|
|
|
21
|
# There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. |
|
|
|
22
|
The desire of a man his kindness: and a poor man better than a liar. |
|
|
|
23
|
The fear of the LORD to life: and shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. |
|
|
|
24
|
A slothful hideth his hand in bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. |
|
|
|
25
|
Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, he will understand knowledge. |
|
|
|
26
|
He that wasteth father, chaseth away mother, a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. |
|
|
|
27
|
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction to err from the words of knowledge. |
|
|
|
28
|
An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. |
|
|
|
29
|
Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. |
