Whoever loves 1discipline
loves
knowledge
, But he who hates
reproof
is stupid
.
A agood man
will obtain
favor
from the LORD
, But He will condemn
a man
1who devises
evil
.
A man will anot be established
by wickedness
, But the root
of the brighteous
will not be moved
.
An 1 aexcellent wife
is the crown
of her husband
, But she who shames
him is like brottenness
in his bones
.
The thoughts of the righteous
are just
, But the counsels
of the wicked
are deceitful
.
The awords of the wicked
lie
in wait
for blood
, But the bmouth
of the upright
will deliver
them.
The awicked are overthrown
and are no
more, But the bhouse
of the righteous
will stand
.
A man will be praised
according
to his insight
, But one of perverse
1mind
will be despised
.
Better is he who is lightly
esteemed
and has a servant
Than
he who honors
himself and lacks
bread
.
A arighteous man
has
regard
for the life
of his animal
, But even the compassion
of the wicked
is cruel
.
He awho tills his land
will have
plenty
of bread
, But he who pursues
worthless
things lacks
1sense
.
The awicked man desires
the 1booty
of evil
men
, But the root
of the righteous
byields
fruit.
1An evil man
is ensnared
by the transgression
of his lips
, But the arighteous
will escape
from trouble
.
A man will be asatisfied
with good
by the fruit
of his 1words
, And the bdeeds
of a man's
hands
will return
to him.
The away of a fool
is right
in his own eyes
, But a wise
man
is he who listens
to counsel
.
A afool's anger
is known
at once
, But a prudent
man
conceals
dishonor
.
He who 1speaks truth
tells
what
is right
, But a false
witness
, deceit
.
There is one who aspeaks
rashly
like the thrusts
of a sword
, But the btongue
of the wise
brings
healing
.
Truthful lips
will be established
forever
, But a alying
tongue
is only
for a moment
.
Deceit is in the heart
of those who devise
evil
, But counselors
of peace
have joy
.
aNo harm
befalls
the righteous
, But the wicked
are filled
with trouble
.
aLying lips
are an abomination
to the LORD
, But those who deal
faithfully
are His delight
.
A aprudent man
conceals
knowledge
, But the heart
of fools
proclaims
folly
.
The hand of the diligent
will rule
, But the 1slack
hand will be aput to forced
labor
.
aAnxiety in a man's
heart
weighs
it down
, But a bgood
word
makes
it glad
.
The righteous is a guide
to his neighbor
, But the way
of the wicked
leads
them astray
.
A 1lazy man
does not 2roast
his prey
, But the aprecious
possession
of a man
is diligence
.
aIn the way of righteousness
is life
, And in its pathway
there is no
death
.
