Every wise woman
buildeth
her house
: but the foolish
plucketh it down
with her hands
.
He that walketh in his uprightness
feareth
the LORD
: but he that is perverse
in his ways
despiseth
him.
In the mouth of the foolish
is a rod
of pride
: but the lips
of the wise
shall preserve
them.
Where no oxen are , the crib
is clean
: but much
increase
is by the strength
of the ox
.
A faithful witness
will not lie
: but a false
witness
will utter
lies
.
A scorner seeketh
wisdom
, and findeth it not: but knowledge
is easy
unto him that understandeth
.
Go from the presence
of a foolish
man
, when thou perceivest
not in him the lips
of knowledge
.
The wisdom of the prudent
is to understand
his way
: but the folly
of fools
is deceit
.
Fools make a mock
at sin
: but among the righteous
there is favour
.
The heart knoweth
his own
bitterness
; and a stranger
doth not intermeddle
with his joy
.
The house of the wicked
shall be overthrown
: but the tabernacle
of the upright
shall flourish
.
There is a way
which seemeth right
unto
a man
, but the end
thereof are the ways
of death
.
Even in laughter the heart
is sorrowful
; and the end
of that mirth
is heaviness
.
The backslider in heart
shall be filled
with his own ways
: and a good
man
shall be satisfied from himself.
The simple believeth
every word
: but the prudent
man looketh well
to his going
.
A wise man feareth
, and departeth
from evil
: but the fool
rageth
, and is confident
.
He that is soon angry
dealeth
foolishly
: and a man
of wicked devices
is hated
.
The simple inherit
folly
: but the prudent
are crowned
with knowledge
.
The evil bow
before
the good
; and the wicked
at the gates
of the righteous
.
The poor is hated
even of his own neighbour
: but the rich
hath many
friends
.
He that despiseth his neighbour
sinneth
: but he that hath mercy
on the poor
, happy
is he.
Do they not err that devise
evil
? but mercy
and truth
shall be to them that devise
good
.
In all labour there is profit
: but the talk
of the lips
tendeth only to penury
.
The crown of the wise
is their riches
: but the foolishness
of fools
is folly
.
A true witness
delivereth
souls
: but a deceitful
witness speaketh
lies
.
In the fear of the LORD
is strong
confidence
: and his children
shall have a place of refuge
.
The fear of the LORD
is a fountain
of life
, to depart
from the snares
of death
.
In the multitude of people
is the king's
honour
: but in the want
of people
is the destruction
of the prince
.
He that is slow to wrath
is of great
understanding
: but he that is hasty
of spirit
exalteth
folly
.
A sound heart
is the life
of the flesh
: but envy
the rottenness
of the bones
.
He that oppresseth the poor
reproacheth
his Maker
: but he that honoureth
him hath mercy
on the poor
.
The wicked is driven away
in his wickedness
: but the righteous
hath hope
in his death
.
Wisdom resteth
in the heart
of him that hath understanding
: but that which is in the midst
of fools
is made known
.
Righteousness exalteth
a nation
: but sin
is a reproach
to any people
.
The king's favour
is toward a wise
servant
: but his wrath
is against him that causeth shame
.
