Every wise{H2454} woman{H802} buildeth{H1129}{(H8804)} her house{H1004}: but the foolish{H200} plucketh it down{H2040}{(H8799)} with her hands{H3027}.

He that walketh{H1980}{(H8802)} in his uprightness{H3476} feareth{H3373} the LORD{H3068}: but he that is perverse{H3868}{(H8737)} in his ways{H1870} despiseth{H959}{(H8802)} him.

In the mouth{H6310} of the foolish{H191} is a rod{H2415} of pride{H1346}: but the lips{H8193} of the wise{H2450} shall preserve{H8104}{(H8799)} them.

Where no oxen{H504} are, the crib{H18} is clean{H1249}: but much{H7230} increase{H8393} is by the strength{H3581} of the ox{H7794}.

A faithful{H529} witness{H5707} will not lie{H3577}: but a false{H8267} witness{H5707} will utter{H6315}{(H8686)} lies{H3576}{(H8762)}.

A scorner{H3887}{(H8801)} seeketh{H1245}{(H8765)} wisdom{H2451}, and findeth it not: but knowledge{H1847} is easy{H7043}{(H8738)} unto him that understandeth{H995}{(H8737)}.

Go{H3212}{(H8798)} from the presence{H5048} of a foolish{H3684} man{H376}, when thou perceivest{H3045}{(H8804)} not in him the lips{H8193} of knowledge{H1847}.

The wisdom{H2451} of the prudent{H6175} is to understand{H995}{(H8687)} his way{H1870}: but the folly{H200} of fools{H3684} is deceit{H4820}.

Fools{H191} make a mock{H3887}{(H8686)} at sin{H817}: but among the righteous{H3477} there is favour{H7522}.

The heart{H3820} knoweth{H3045}{(H8802)} his own{H5315} bitterness{H4787}; and a stranger{H2114}{(H8801)} doth not intermeddle{H6148}{(H8691)} with his joy{H8057}.

The house{H1004} of the wicked{H7563} shall be overthrown{H8045}{(H8735)}: but the tabernacle{H168} of the upright{H3477} shall flourish{H6524}{(H8686)}.

There is{H3426} a way{H1870} which seemeth right{H3477} unto{H6440} a man{H376}, but the end{H319} thereof are the ways{H1870} of death{H4194}.

Even in laughter{H7814} the heart{H3820} is sorrowful{H3510}{(H8799)}; and the end{H319} of that mirth{H8057} is heaviness{H8424}.

The backslider{H5472}{(H8803)} in heart{H3820} shall be filled{H7646}{(H8799)} with his own ways{H1870}: and a good{H2896} man{H376} shall be satisfied from himself.

The simple{H6612} believeth{H539}{(H8686)} every word{H1697}: but the prudent{H6175} man looketh well{H995}{(H8799)} to his going{H838}.

A wise{H2450} man feareth{H3373}, and departeth{H5493}{(H8802)} from evil{H7451}: but the fool{H3684} rageth{H5674}{(H8693)}, and is confident{H982}{(H8802)}.

He that is soon{H7116} angry{H639} dealeth{H6213}{(H8799)} foolishly{H200}: and a man{H376} of wicked devices{H4209} is hated{H8130}{(H8735)}.

The simple{H6612} inherit{H5157}{(H8804)} folly{H200}: but the prudent{H6175} are crowned{H3803}{(H8686)} with knowledge{H1847}.

The evil{H7451} bow{H7817}{(H8804)} before{H6440} the good{H2896}; and the wicked{H7563} at the gates{H8179} of the righteous{H6662}.

The poor{H7326}{(H8802)} is hated{H8130}{(H8735)} even of his own neighbour{H7453}: but the rich{H6223} hath many{H7227} friends{H157}{(H8802)}.

He that despiseth{H936}{(H8802)} his neighbour{H7453} sinneth{H2398}{(H8802)}: but he that hath mercy{H2603}{(H8781)} on the poor{H6035}{(H8675)}{H6041}, happy{H835} is he.

Do they not err{H8582}{(H8799)} that devise{H2790}{(H8802)} evil{H7451}? but mercy{H2617} and truth{H571} shall be to them that devise{H2790}{(H8802)} good{H2896}.

In all labour{H6089} there is profit{H4195}: but the talk{H1697} of the lips{H8193} tendeth only to penury{H4270}.

The crown{H5850} of the wise{H2450} is their riches{H6239}: but the foolishness{H200} of fools{H3684} is folly{H200}.

A true{H571} witness{H5707} delivereth{H5337}{(H8688)} souls{H5315}: but a deceitful{H4820} witness speaketh{H6315}{(H8686)} lies{H3577}.

In the fear{H3374} of the LORD{H3068} is strong{H5797} confidence{H4009}: and his children{H1121} shall have a place of refuge{H4268}.

The fear{H3374} of the LORD{H3068} is a fountain{H4726} of life{H2416}, to depart{H5493}{(H8800)} from the snares{H4170} of death{H4194}.

In the multitude{H7230} of people{H5971} is the king's{H4428} honour{H1927}: but in the want{H657} of people{H3816} is the destruction{H4288} of the prince{H7333}.

He that is slow{H750} to wrath{H639} is of great{H7227} understanding{H8394}: but he that is hasty{H7116} of spirit{H7307} exalteth{H7311}{(H8688)} folly{H200}.

A sound{H4832} heart{H3820} is the life{H2416} of the flesh{H1320}: but envy{H7068} the rottenness{H7538} of the bones{H6106}.

He that oppresseth{H6231}{(H8802)} the poor{H1800} reproacheth{H2778}{(H8765)} his Maker{H6213}{(H8802)}: but he that honoureth{H3513}{(H8764)} him hath mercy{H2603}{(H8802)} on the poor{H34}.

The wicked{H7563} is driven away{H1760}{(H8735)} in his wickedness{H7451}: but the righteous{H6662} hath hope{H2620}{(H8802)} in his death{H4194}.

Wisdom{H2451} resteth{H5117}{(H8799)} in the heart{H3820} of him that hath understanding{H995}{(H8737)}: but that which is in the midst{H7130} of fools{H3684} is made known{H3045}{(H8735)}.

Righteousness{H6666} exalteth{H7311}{(H8787)} a nation{H1471}: but sin{H2403} is a reproach{H2617} to any people{H3816}.

The king's{H4428} favour{H7522} is toward a wise{H7919}{(H8688)} servant{H5650}: but his wrath{H5678} is against him that causeth shame{H954}{(H8688)}.
