A soft{H7390} answer{H4617} turneth{H7725} away wrath;{H2534} But a grievous{H6089} word{H1697} stirreth up{H5927} anger.{H639}

The tongue{H3956} of the wise{H2450} uttereth knowledge{H1847} aright;{H3190} But the mouth{H6310} of fools{H3684} poureth out{H5042} folly.{H200}

The eyes{H5869} of Jehovah{H3068} are in every place,{H4725} Keeping watch{H6822} upon the evil{H7451} and the good.{H2896}

A gentle{H4832} tongue{H3956} is a tree{H6086} of life;{H2416} But perverseness{H5558} therein is a breaking{H7667} of the spirit.{H7307}

A fool{H191} despiseth{H5006} his father's{H1} correction;{H4148} But he that regardeth{H8104} reproof{H8433} getteth prudence.{H6191}

In the house{H1004} of the righteous{H6662} is much{H7227} treasure;{H2633} But in the revenues{H8393} of the wicked{H7563} is trouble.{H5916}

The lips{H8193} of the wise{H2450} disperse{H2219} knowledge;{H1847} But the heart{H3820} of the foolish{H3684} [doeth] not so.

The sacrifice{H2077} of the wicked{H7563} is an abomination{H8441} to Jehovah;{H3068} But the prayer{H8605} of the upright{H3477} is his delight.{H7522}

The way{H1870} of the wicked{H7563} is an abomination{H8441} to Jehovah;{H3068} But he loveth{H157} him that followeth{H7291} after righteousness.{H6666}

There is grievous{H7451} correction{H4148} for him that forsaketh{H5800} the way;{H734} [And] he that hateth{H8130} reproof{H8433} shall die.{H4191}

Sheol{H7585} and Abaddon{H11} are before Jehovah:{H3068} How much more then the hearts{H3826} of the children{H1121} of men!{H120}

A scoffer{H3887} loveth{H157} not to be reproved;{H3198} He will not go{H3212} unto the wise.{H2450}

A glad{H8056} heart{H3820} maketh a cheerful{H3190} countenance;{H6440} But by sorrow{H6094} of heart{H3820} the spirit{H7307} is broken.{H5218}

The heart{H3820} of him that hath understanding{H995} seeketh{H1245} knowledge;{H1847} But the mouth{H6310} of fools{H3684} feedeth{H7462} on folly.{H200}

All the days{H3117} of the afflicted{H6041} are evil;{H7451} But he that is of a cheerful{H2896} heart{H3820} [hath] a continual{H8548} feast.{H4960}

Better{H2896} is little,{H4592} with the fear{H3374} of Jehovah,{H3068} Than great{H7227} treasure{H214} and trouble{H4103} therewith.

Better{H2896} is a dinner{H737} of herbs,{H3419} where love{H160} is, Than a stalled{H75} ox{H7794} and hatred{H8135} therewith.

A wrathful{H2534} man{H376} stirreth up{H1624} contention;{H4066} But he that is slow{H750} to anger{H639} appeaseth{H8252} strife.{H7379}

The way{H1870} of the sluggard{H6102} is as a hedge{H4881} of thorns;{H2312} But the path{H734} of the upright{H3477} is made a highway.{H734}

A wise{H2450} son{H1121} maketh a glad{H8055} father;{H1} But a foolish{H3684} man{H120} despiseth{H959} his mother.{H517}

Folly{H200} is joy{H8057} to him that is void{H2638} of wisdom;{H3820} But a man{H376} of understanding{H8394} maketh straight{H3474} his going.{H3212}

Where there is no counsel,{H5475} purposes{H4284} are disappointed;{H6565} But in the multitude{H7230} of counsellors{H3289} they are established.{H6965}

A man{H376} hath joy{H8057} in the answer{H4617} of his mouth;{H6310} And a word{H1697} in due season,{H6256} how good{H2896} is it!

To the wise{H7919} the way{H734} of life{H734} [goeth] upward,{H4605} That he may depart{H5493} from Sheol{H7585} beneath.{H4295}

Jehovah{H3068} will root up{H5255} the house{H1004} of the proud;{H1343} But he will establish{H5324} the border{H1366} of the widow.{H490}

Evil{H7451} devices{H4284} are an abomination{H8441} to Jehovah;{H3068} But pleasant{H5278} words{H561} [are] pure.{H2889}

He that is greedy{H1214} of gain{H1215} troubleth{H5916} his own house;{H1004} But he that hateth{H8130} bribes{H4979} shall live.{H2421}

The heart{H3820} of the righteous{H6662} studieth{H1897} to answer;{H6030} But the mouth{H6310} of the wicked{H7563} poureth{H5042} out evil things.{H7451}

Jehovah{H3068} is far{H7350} from the wicked;{H7563} But he heareth{H8085} the prayer{H8605} of the righteous.{H6662}

The light{H3974} of the eyes{H5869} rejoiceth{H8055} the heart;{H3820} [And] good{H2896} tidings{H8052} make{H1878} the bones{H6106} fat.{H1878}

The ear{H241} that hearkeneth{H8085} to the reproof{H8433} of life{H2416} Shall abide{H3885} among{H7130} the wise.{H2450}

He that refuseth{H6544} correction{H4148} despiseth{H3988} his own soul;{H5315} But he that hearkeneth{H8085} to reproof{H8433} getteth{H7069} understanding.{H3820}

The fear{H3374} of Jehovah{H3068} is the instruction{H4148} of wisdom;{H2451} And before{H6440} honor{H3519} [goeth] humility.{H6038}
