| 1 |
A soft answer turneth away wrath:
| | |
but grievous words stir up anger. |
|
|
| 2 |
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
| | |
but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. |
|
|
| 3 |
The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
| | |
beholding the evil and the good. |
|
|
| 4 |
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
| | |
but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. |
|
|
| 5 |
A fool despiseth his father's instruction:
| | |
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
|
|
| 6 |
In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
| | |
but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. |
|
|
| 7 |
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:
| | |
but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. |
|
|
| 8 |
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD:
| | |
but the prayer of the upright is his delight. |
|
|
| 9 |
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD:
| | |
but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. |
|
|
| 10 |
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way:
| | |
and he that hateth reproof shall die. |
|
|
| 11 |
Hell and destruction are before the LORD:
| | |
how much more then the hearts of the children of men? |
|
|
| 12 |
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:
| | |
neither will he go unto the wise. |
|
|
| 13 |
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
| | |
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. |
|
|
| 14 |
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:
| | |
but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. |
|
|
| 15 |
All the days of the afflicted are evil:
| | |
but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. |
|
|
| 16 |
Better is little with the fear of the LORD,
| | |
than great treasure and trouble therewith. |
|
|
| 17 |
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
| | |
than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. |
|
|
| 18 |
A wrathful man stirreth up strife:
| | |
but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. |
|
|
| 19 |
The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns:
| | |
but the way of the righteous is made plain. |
|
|
| 20 |
A wise son maketh a glad father:
| | |
but a foolish man despiseth his mother. |
|
|
| 21 |
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom:
| | |
but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. |
|
|
| 22 |
Without counsel purposes are disappointed:
| | |
but in the multitude of counselors they are established. |
|
|
| 23 |
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:
| | |
and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! |
|
|
| 24 |
The way of life is above to the wise,
| | |
that he may depart from hell beneath. |
|
|
| 25 |
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud:
| | |
but he will establish the border of the widow. |
|
|
| 26 |
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD:
| | |
but the words of the pure are pleasant words. |
|
|
| 27 |
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
| | |
but he that hateth gifts shall live. |
|
|
| 28 |
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
| | |
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. |
|
|
| 29 |
The LORD is far from the wicked:
| | |
but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. |
|
|
| 30 |
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
| | |
and a good report maketh the bones fat. |
|
|
| 31 |
The ear that heareth the reproof of life
|
| 32 |
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
| | |
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. |
|
|
| 33 |
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom;
| | |
and before honor is humility. |
