¹A wise sonhearethhis father’s instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke. ²A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; But the soul of the treacherousshall eatviolence. ³He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; Buthe that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. ⁴The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. ⁵A righteous man hateth lying; But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. ⁶Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner. ⁷There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth. ⁸The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening. ⁹The light of the righteous rejoiceth; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. ¹⁰By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom. ¹¹Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase. ¹²Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. ¹³Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself; But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. ¹⁴The law of the wise is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death. ¹⁵Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard. ¹⁶Every prudent man worketh with knowledge; But a fool flaunteth his folly. ¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into evil; But a faithful ambassador is health. ¹⁸Poverty and shameshall be tohim that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored. ¹⁹The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil. ²⁰Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it. ²¹Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good. ²²A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous. ²³Much foodis inthe tillage of the poor; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice. ²⁴He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. ²⁵The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; But the belly of the wicked shall want.
