A wise
son
heareth his father's
instruction:
but a scorner
heareth
not rebuke.
A man
shall eat
good
by the fruit
of his mouth:
but the soul
of the transgressors
shall eat violence.
He that keepeth
his mouth
keepeth
his life:
but he that openeth wide
his lips
shall have destruction.
The soul
of the sluggard
desireth,
and hath nothing: but the soul
of the diligent
shall be made fat.
A righteous
man hateth
lying:
but a wicked
man is loathsome,
and cometh to shame.
Righteousness
keepeth
him that is upright
in the way:
but wickedness
overthroweth
the sinner.
There is
that maketh himself rich,
yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor,
yet
hath great
riches.
The ransom
of a man's
life
are his riches:
but the poor
heareth
not rebuke.
The light
of the righteous
rejoiceth:
but the lamp
of the wicked
shall be put out.
Only by pride
cometh
contention:
but with the well advised
is wisdom.
Wealth
gotten by vanity
shall be diminished:
but he that gathereth
by labour
shall increase.

Hope
deferred
maketh the heart
sick:
but when the desire
cometh,
it is a tree
of life.
Whoso despiseth
the word
shall be destroyed:
but he that feareth
the commandment
shall be rewarded.

The law
of the wise
is a fountain
of life,
to depart
from the snares
of death.
Good
understanding
giveth
favour:
but the way
of transgressors
is hard.
Every prudent
man dealeth
with knowledge:
but a fool
layeth open
his folly.
A wicked
messenger
falleth
into mischief:
but a faithful
ambassador
is health.
Poverty
and shame
shall be to him that refuseth
instruction:
but he that regardeth
reproof
shall be honoured.
The desire
accomplished
is sweet
to the soul:
but it is abomination
to fools
to depart
from evil.
He that walketh
with wise
men shall be wise:
but a companion
of fools
shall be destroyed.
Evil
pursueth
sinners:
but to the righteous
good
shall be repayed.
A good
man leaveth an inheritance
to his children's
children:
and the wealth
of the sinner
is laid up
for the just.
Much
food
is in the tillage
of the poor:
but there is
that is destroyed
for want
of judgment.
He that spareth
his rod
hateth
his son:
but he that loveth
him chasteneth
him betimes.
The righteous
eateth
to the satisfying
of his soul:
but the belly
of the wicked
shall want.
