A soft
answer
turneth
away wrath:
but grievous
words
stir up
anger.
The tongue
of the wise
useth knowledge
aright:
but the mouth
of fools
poureth out
foolishness.
The eyes
of the LORD
are in every place,
beholding
the evil
and the good.
A wholesome
tongue
is a tree
of life:
but perverseness
therein is a breach
in the spirit.
A fool
despiseth
his father's
instruction:
but he that regardeth
reproof
is prudent.

of the righteous
is much
treasure:
but in the revenues
of the wicked
is trouble.

of the wise
disperse
knowledge:
but the heart
of the foolish
doeth not so.

of the wicked
is an abomination
to the LORD:
but the prayer
of the upright
is his delight.
The way
of the wicked
is an abomination
unto the LORD:
but he loveth
him that followeth
after righteousness.
Correction
is grievous
unto him that forsaketh
the way:
and he that hateth
reproof
shall die.
Hell
and destruction
are before the LORD:
how much more then the hearts
of the children
of men?
A scorner
loveth
not one that reproveth
him: neither will he go
unto the wise.
A merry
heart
maketh a cheerful
countenance:
but by sorrow
of the heart
the spirit
is broken.
The heart
of him that hath understanding
seeketh
knowledge:
but the mouth
of fools
feedeth
on foolishness.
All the days
of the afflicted
are evil:
but he that is of a merry
heart
hath a continual
feast.
Better
is little
with the fear
of the LORD
than great
treasure
and trouble
therewith.
Better
is a dinner
of herbs
where love
is, than a stalled
ox
and hatred
therewith.
A wrathful
man
stirreth up
strife:
but he that is slow
to anger
appeaseth
strife.

The way
of the slothful
man is as an hedge
of thorns:
but the way
of the righteous
is made plain.
A wise
son
maketh a glad
father:
but a foolish
man
despiseth
his mother.
Folly
is joy
to him that is destitute
of wisdom:
but a man
of understanding
walketh
uprightly.
Without counsel
purposes
are disappointed:
but in the multitude
of counsellors
they are established.
A man
hath joy
by the answer
of his mouth:
and a word
spoken in due season,
how good
is it!
The way
of life
is above
to the wise,
that he may depart
from hell
beneath.
The LORD
will destroy
the house
of the proud:
but he will establish
the border
of the widow.
The thoughts
of the wicked
are an abomination
to the LORD:
but the words of the pure
are pleasant
words.
He that is greedy
of gain
troubleth
his own house;
but he that hateth
gifts
shall live.

is far
from the wicked:
but he heareth
the prayer
of the righteous.

The light
of the eyes
rejoiceth
the heart:
and a good
report
maketh
the bones
fat.
The ear
that heareth
the reproof
of life
abideth
among
the wise.
He that refuseth
instruction
despiseth
his own soul:
but he that heareth
reproof
getteth
understanding.
The fear
of the LORD
is the instruction
of wisdom;
and before
honour
is humility.
