1Whoso loveth157 instruction4148 loveth157 knowledge1847: but he that hateth8130 reproof8433 is brutish1198.
2A good2896 man obtaineth6329 favour7522 of the LORD3068: but a man376 of wicked devices4209 will he condemn7561.
3A man120 shall not be established3559 by wickedness7562: but the root8328 of the righteous6662 shall not be moved4131.
4A virtuous2428 woman802 is a crown5850 to her husband1167: but she that maketh ashamed954 is as rottenness7538 in his bones6106.
5The thoughts4284 of the righteous6662 are right4941: but the counsels8458 of the wicked7563 are deceit4820.
6The words1697 of the wicked7563 are to lie in wait693 for blood1818: but the mouth6310 of the upright3477 shall deliver5337 them.
7The wicked7563 are overthrown2015, and are not: but the house1004 of the righteous6662 shall stand5975.
8A man376 shall be commended1984 according6310 to his wisdom7922: but he that is of a perverse5753 heart3820 shall be despised937.
9He that is despised7034, and hath a servant5650, is better2896 than he that honoureth3513 himself, and lacketh2638 bread3899.
10A righteous6662 man regardeth3045 the life5315 of his beast929: but the tender mercies7356 of the wicked7563 are cruel394.
11He that tilleth5647 his land127 shall be satisfied7646 with bread3899: but he that followeth7291 vain7386 persons is void2638 of understanding3820.
12The wicked7563 desireth2530 the net4685 of evil7451 men: but the root8328 of the righteous6662 yieldeth5414 fruit.
13The wicked7451 is snared4170 by the transgression6588 of his lips8193: but the just6662 shall come out3318 of trouble6869.
14A man376 shall be satisfied7646 with good2896 by the fruit6529 of his mouth6310: and the recompence1576 of a man's120 hands3027 shall be rendered7725 7725 unto him.
15The way1870 of a fool191 is right3477 in his own eyes5869: but he that hearkeneth8085 unto counsel6098 is wise2450.
16A fool's191 wrath3708 is presently3117 known3045: but a prudent6175 man covereth3680 shame7036.
17He that speaketh6315 truth530 sheweth forth5046 righteousness6664: but a false8267 witness5707 deceit4820.
18There is3426 that speaketh981 like the piercings4094 of a sword2719: but the tongue3956 of the wise2450 is health4832.
19The lip8193 of truth571 shall be established3559 for ever5703: but a lying8267 tongue3956 is but for a moment7280.
20Deceit4820 is in the heart3820 of them that imagine2790 evil7451: but to the counsellors3289 of peace7965 is joy8057.
21There shall no evil205 happen579 to the just6662: but the wicked7563 shall be filled4390 with mischief7451.
22Lying8267 lips8193 are abomination8441 to the LORD3068: but they that deal6213 truly530 are his delight7522.
23A prudent6175 man120 concealeth3680 knowledge1847: but the heart3820 of fools3684 proclaimeth7121 foolishness200.
24The hand3027 of the diligent2742 shall bear rule4910: but the slothful7423 shall be under tribute4522.
25Heaviness1674 in the heart3820 of man376 maketh it stoop7812: but a good2896 word1697 maketh it glad8055.
26The righteous6662 is more excellent8446 than his neighbour7453: but the way1870 of the wicked7563 seduceth8582 them.
27The slothful7423 man roasteth2760 not that which he took in hunting6718: but the substance1952 of a diligent2742 man120 is precious3368.
28In the way734 of righteousness6666 is life2416; and in the pathway5410 1870 thereof there is no death4194.
