1A soft7390 answer4617 turneth7725 away wrath2534: but grievous6089 words1697 stir up5927 anger639.
2The tongue3956 of the wise2450 useth knowledge1847 aright3190: but the mouth6310 of fools3684 poureth out5042 foolishness200.
3The eyes5869 of the LORD3068 are in every place4725, beholding6822 the evil7451 and the good2896.
4A wholesome4832 tongue3956 is a tree6086 of life2416: but perverseness5558 therein is a breach7667 in the spirit7307.
5A fool191 despiseth5006 his father's1 instruction4148: but he that regardeth8104 reproof8433 is prudent6191.
6In the house1004 of the righteous6662 is much7227 treasure2633: but in the revenues8393 of the wicked7563 is trouble5916.
7The lips8193 of the wise2450 disperse2219 knowledge1847: but the heart3820 of the foolish3684 doeth not so.
8The sacrifice2077 of the wicked7563 is an abomination8441 to the LORD3068: but the prayer8605 of the upright3477 is his delight7522.
9The way1870 of the wicked7563 is an abomination8441 unto the LORD3068: but he loveth157 him that followeth7291 after righteousness6666.
10Correction4148 is grievous7451 unto him that forsaketh5800 the way734: and he that hateth8130 reproof8433 shall die4191.
11Hell7585 and destruction11 are before the LORD3068: how much more then the hearts3826 of the children1121 of men120?
12A scorner3887 loveth157 not one that reproveth3198 him: neither will he go3212 unto the wise2450.
13A merry8056 heart3820 maketh a cheerful3190 countenance6440: but by sorrow6094 of the heart3820 the spirit7307 is broken5218.
14The heart3820 of him that hath understanding995 seeketh1245 knowledge1847: but the mouth6310 6440 of fools3684 feedeth7462 on foolishness200.
15All the days3117 of the afflicted6041 are evil7451: but he that is of a merry2896 heart3820 hath a continual8548 feast4960.
16Better2896 is little4592 with the fear3374 of the LORD3068 than great7227 treasure214 and trouble4103 therewith.
17Better2896 is a dinner737 of herbs3419 where love160 is, than a stalled75 ox7794 and hatred8135 therewith.
18A wrathful2534 man376 stirreth up1624 strife4066: but he that is slow750 to anger639 appeaseth8252 strife7379.
19The way1870 of the slothful6102 man is as an hedge4881 of thorns2312: but the way734 of the righteous3477 is made plain5549.
20A wise2450 son1121 maketh a glad8055 father1: but a foolish3684 man120 despiseth959 his mother517.
21Folly200 is joy8057 to him that is destitute2638 of wisdom3820: but a man376 of understanding8394 walketh3212 uprightly3474.
22Without counsel5475 purposes4284 are disappointed6565: but in the multitude7230 of counsellors3289 they are established6965.
23A man376 hath joy8057 by the answer4617 of his mouth6310: and a word1697 spoken in due season6256, how good2896 is it!
24The way734 of life2416 is above4605 to the wise7919, that he may depart5493 from hell7585 beneath4295.
25The LORD3068 will destroy5255 the house1004 of the proud1343: but he will establish5324 the border1366 of the widow490.
26The thoughts4284 of the wicked7451 are an abomination8441 to the LORD3068: but the words of the pure2889 are pleasant5278 words561.
27He that is greedy1214 of gain1215 troubleth5916 his own house1004; but he that hateth8130 gifts4979 shall live2421.
28The heart3820 of the righteous6662 studieth1897 to answer6030: but the mouth6310 of the wicked7563 poureth5042 out evil things7451.
29The LORD3068 is far7350 from the wicked7563: but he heareth8085 the prayer8605 of the righteous6662.
30The light3974 of the eyes5869 rejoiceth8055 the heart3820: and a good2896 report8052 maketh1878 the bones6106 fat1878.
31The ear241 that heareth8085 the reproof8433 of life2416 abideth3885 among7130 the wise2450.
32He that refuseth6544 instruction4148 despiseth3988 his own soul5315: but he that heareth8085 reproof8433 getteth7069 understanding3820.
33The fear3374 of the LORD3068 is the instruction4148 of wisdom2451; and before6440 honour3519 is humility6038.
