Whoso loveth{H157}{(H8802)} instruction{H4148} loveth{H157}{(H8802)} knowledge{H1847}: but he that hateth{H8130}{(H8802)} reproof{H8433} is brutish{H1198}.

A good{H2896} man obtaineth{H6329}{(H8686)} favour{H7522} of the LORD{H3068}: but a man{H376} of wicked devices{H4209} will he condemn{H7561}{(H8686)}.

A man{H120} shall not be established{H3559}{(H8735)} by wickedness{H7562}: but the root{H8328} of the righteous{H6662} shall not be moved{H4131}{(H8735)}.

A virtuous{H2428} woman{H802} is a crown{H5850} to her husband{H1167}: but she that maketh ashamed{H954}{(H8688)} is as rottenness{H7538} in his bones{H6106}.

The thoughts{H4284} of the righteous{H6662} are right{H4941}: but the counsels{H8458} of the wicked{H7563} are deceit{H4820}.

The words{H1697} of the wicked{H7563} are to lie in wait{H693}{(H8800)} for blood{H1818}: but the mouth{H6310} of the upright{H3477} shall deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} them.

The wicked{H7563} are overthrown{H2015}{(H8800)}, and are not: but the house{H1004} of the righteous{H6662} shall stand{H5975}{(H8799)}.

A man{H376} shall be commended{H1984}{(H8792)} according{H6310} to his wisdom{H7922}: but he that is of a perverse{H5753}{(H8737)} heart{H3820} shall be despised{H937}.

He that is despised{H7034}{(H8737)}, and hath a servant{H5650}, is better{H2896} than he that honoureth{H3513}{(H8693)} himself, and lacketh{H2638} bread{H3899}.

A righteous{H6662} man regardeth{H3045}{(H8802)} the life{H5315} of his beast{H929}: but the tender mercies{H7356} of the wicked{H7563} are cruel{H394}.

He that tilleth{H5647}{(H8802)} his land{H127} shall be satisfied{H7646}{(H8799)} with bread{H3899}: but he that followeth{H7291}{(H8764)} vain{H7386} persons is void{H2638} of understanding{H3820}.

The wicked{H7563} desireth{H2530}{(H8804)} the net{H4685} of evil{H7451} men: but the root{H8328} of the righteous{H6662} yieldeth{H5414}{(H8799)} fruit.

The wicked{H7451} is snared{H4170} by the transgression{H6588} of his lips{H8193}: but the just{H6662} shall come out{H3318}{(H8799)} of trouble{H6869}.

A man{H376} shall be satisfied{H7646}{(H8799)} with good{H2896} by the fruit{H6529} of his mouth{H6310}: and the recompence{H1576} of a man's{H120} hands{H3027} shall be rendered{H7725}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H7725}{(H8799)} unto him.

The way{H1870} of a fool{H191} is right{H3477} in his own eyes{H5869}: but he that hearkeneth{H8085}{(H8802)} unto counsel{H6098} is wise{H2450}.

A fool's{H191} wrath{H3708} is presently{H3117} known{H3045}{(H8735)}: but a prudent{H6175} man covereth{H3680}{(H8802)} shame{H7036}.

He that speaketh{H6315}{(H8686)} truth{H530} sheweth forth{H5046}{(H8686)} righteousness{H6664}: but a false{H8267} witness{H5707} deceit{H4820}.

There is{H3426} that speaketh{H981}{(H8802)} like the piercings{H4094} of a sword{H2719}: but the tongue{H3956} of the wise{H2450} is health{H4832}.

The lip{H8193} of truth{H571} shall be established{H3559}{(H8735)} for ever{H5703}: but a lying{H8267} tongue{H3956} is but for a moment{H7280}{(H8686)}.

Deceit{H4820} is in the heart{H3820} of them that imagine{H2790}{(H8802)} evil{H7451}: but to the counsellors{H3289}{(H8802)} of peace{H7965} is joy{H8057}.

There shall no evil{H205} happen{H579}{(H8792)} to the just{H6662}: but the wicked{H7563} shall be filled{H4390}{(H8804)} with mischief{H7451}.

Lying{H8267} lips{H8193} are abomination{H8441} to the LORD{H3068}: but they that deal{H6213}{(H8802)} truly{H530} are his delight{H7522}.

A prudent{H6175} man{H120} concealeth{H3680}{(H8802)} knowledge{H1847}: but the heart{H3820} of fools{H3684} proclaimeth{H7121}{(H8799)} foolishness{H200}.

The hand{H3027} of the diligent{H2742} shall bear rule{H4910}{(H8799)}: but the slothful{H7423} shall be under tribute{H4522}.

Heaviness{H1674} in the heart{H3820} of man{H376} maketh it stoop{H7812}{(H8686)}: but a good{H2896} word{H1697} maketh it glad{H8055}{(H8762)}.

The righteous{H6662} is more excellent{H8446}{(H8686)} than his neighbour{H7453}: but the way{H1870} of the wicked{H7563} seduceth{H8582}{(H8686)} them.

The slothful{H7423} man roasteth{H2760}{(H8799)} not that which he took in hunting{H6718}: but the substance{H1952} of a diligent{H2742} man{H120} is precious{H3368}.

In the way{H734} of righteousness{H6666} is life{H2416}; and in the pathway{H5410}{H1870} thereof there is no death{H4194}.
