A awise son
accepts his father's
discipline
, But a bscoffer
does not listen
to rebuke
.
From the fruit of a man's
mouth
he 1 aenjoys
good
, But the 2desire
of the treacherous
is bviolence
.
The one who aguards his mouth
preserves
his life
; The one who bopens
wide
his lips
1comes to ruin
.
The soul of the sluggard
craves
and gets nothing
, But the soul
of the diligent
is made
fat
.
A righteous man
ahates
falsehood
, But a wicked
man
1 bacts
disgustingly
and shamefully
.
Righteousness aguards
the 1one whose way
is blameless
, But wickedness
subverts
the 2sinner
.
There is one who apretends
to be rich
, but has
nothing
; Another 1pretends
to be bpoor
, but has great
wealth
.
The ransom of a man's
life
is his wealth
, But the poor
hears
no
rebuke
.
The alight of the righteous
1rejoices
, But the blamp
of the wicked
goes
out.
Through insolence 1comes
nothing
but strife
, But wisdom
is with those who receive
counsel
.
Wealth obtained by 1fraud
dwindles
, But the one who gathers
2by labor
increases
it.
Hope deferred
makes
the heart
sick
, But desire
1fulfilled
is a tree
of life
.
The one who adespises the word
will be 1in debt
to it, But the one who fears
the commandment
will be brewarded
.
The 1teaching of the wise
is a afountain
of life
, To turn
aside
from the bsnares
of death
.
aGood understanding
produces
favor
, But the way
of the treacherous
is hard
.
Every aprudent
man
acts
with knowledge
, But a fool
1displays
folly
.
A wicked messenger
falls
into adversity
, But aa faithful
envoy
brings healing
.
Poverty and shame
will come to him who aneglects
1discipline
, But he who regards
reproof
will be honored
.
Desire realized
is sweet
to the soul
, But it is an abomination
to fools
to turn
away
from evil
.
aHe who walks with wise
men
will be wise
, But the companion
of fools
will suffer
harm
.
aAdversity pursues
sinners
, But the brighteous
will be rewarded
with prosperity
.
A good man
aleaves
an inheritance
to his 1children's
children
, And the bwealth
of the sinner
is stored
up for the righteous
.
aAbundant food
is in the fallow
ground
of the poor
, But 1it is swept
away
by injustice
.
He who awithholds his 1rod
hates
his son
, But he who loves
him 2 bdisciplines
him diligently
.
The arighteous 1has
enough
to satisfy
his appetite
, But the stomach
of the bwicked
is in need
.
