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.

shall not be established
by wickedness:

is as rottenness
in his bones.
The thoughts
of the righteous
are right:
but the counsels
of the wicked
are deceit.

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:

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:

vain
persons is void
of understanding.

with good
by the fruit

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.

but to the counsellors
of peace
is joy.

happen
to the just:
but the wicked
shall be filled
with mischief.

to the LORD:
but they that deal
truly
are his delight.

man
concealeth
knowledge:
but the heart
of fools
proclaimeth
foolishness.

of the diligent
shall bear rule:

shall be under tribute.

in the heart
of man
maketh it stoop:

word
maketh it glad.

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.
