A wise son
heareth his father's
instruction
: but a scorner
heareth
not rebuke
.
A man shall eat
good
by the fruit
of his mouth
: but the soul
of the transgressors
shall eat violence
.
He that keepeth his mouth
keepeth
his life
: but he that openeth wide
his lips
shall have destruction
.
The soul of the sluggard
desireth
, and hath nothing: but the soul
of the diligent
shall be made fat
.
A righteous man hateth
lying
: but a wicked
man is loathsome
, and cometh to shame
.
Righteousness keepeth
him that is upright
in the way
: but wickedness
overthroweth
the sinner
.
There is that maketh himself rich
, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor
, yet
hath great
riches
.
The ransom of a man's
life
are his riches
: but the poor
heareth
not rebuke
.
The light of the righteous
rejoiceth
: but the lamp
of the wicked
shall be put out
.
Only by pride cometh
contention
: but with the well advised
is wisdom
.
Wealth gotten by vanity
shall be diminished
: but he that gathereth
by labour
shall increase
.
Hope deferred
maketh the heart
sick
: but when the desire
cometh
, it is a tree
of life
.
Whoso despiseth the word
shall be destroyed
: but he that feareth
the commandment
shall be rewarded
.
The law of the wise
is a fountain
of life
, to depart
from the snares
of death
.
Good understanding
giveth
favour
: but the way
of transgressors
is hard
.
Every prudent man dealeth
with knowledge
: but a fool
layeth open
his folly
.
A wicked messenger
falleth
into mischief
: but a faithful
ambassador
is health
.
Poverty and shame
shall be to him that refuseth
instruction
: but he that regardeth
reproof
shall be honoured
.
The desire accomplished
is sweet
to the soul
: but it is abomination
to fools
to depart
from evil
.
He that walketh with wise
men shall be wise
: but a companion
of fools
shall be destroyed
.
Evil pursueth
sinners
: but to the righteous
good
shall be repayed
.
A good man leaveth an inheritance
to his children's
children
: and the wealth
of the sinner
is laid up
for the just
.
Much food
is in the tillage
of the poor
: but there is
that is destroyed
for want
of judgment
.
He that spareth his rod
hateth
his son
: but he that loveth
him chasteneth
him betimes
.
The righteous eateth
to the satisfying
of his soul
: but the belly
of the wicked
shall want
.
