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