Proverbs 10:1--22:16

The proverbs
<04912>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

A wise
<02450>

son
<01121>

maketh a glad
<08055> (8762)

father
<01>_:

but a foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] the heaviness
<08424>

of his mother
<0517>_.

Treasures
<0214>

of wickedness
<07562>

profit
<03276> (8686)

nothing: but righteousness
<06666>

delivereth
<05337> (8686)

from death
<04194>_.

The LORD
<03068>

will not suffer
<07456> (0)

the soul
<05315>

of the righteous
<06662>

to famish
<07456> (8686)_:

but he casteth away
<01920> (8799)

the substance
<01942>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

{the substance...: or, the wicked for their wickedness}

He becometh poor
<07326> (8802)

that dealeth
<06213> (8802)

[with] a slack
<07423>

hand
<03709>_:

but the hand
<03027>

of the diligent
<02742>

maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_.

He that gathereth
<0103> (8802)

in summer
<07019>

[is] a wise
<07919> (8688)

son
<01121>_:

[but] he that sleepeth
<07290> (8737)

in harvest
<07105>

[is] a son
<01121>

that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_.

Blessings
<01293>

[are] upon the head
<07218>

of the just
<06662>_:

but violence
<02555>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

The memory
<02143>

of the just
<06662>

[is] blessed
<01293>_:

but the name
<08034>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall rot
<07537> (8799)_.

The wise
<02450>

in heart
<03820>

will receive
<03947> (8799)

commandments
<04687>_:

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{a prating...: Heb. a fool of lips} {fall: Heb. be beaten}

He that walketh
<03212> (8799)

uprightly
<08537>

walketh
<01980> (8802)

surely
<0983>_:

but he that perverteth
<06140> (8764)

his ways
<01870>

shall be known
<03045> (8735)_.

He that winketh
<07169> (8802)

with the eye
<05869>

causeth
<05414> (8799)

sorrow
<06094>_:

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{fall: Heb. be beaten}

The mouth
<06310>

of a righteous
<06662>

[man is] a well
<04726>

of life
<02416>_:

but violence
<02555>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

Hatred
<08135>

stirreth up
<05782> (8787)

strifes
<04090>_:

but love
<0160>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

all sins
<06588>_.

In the lips
<08193>

of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)

wisdom
<02451>

is found
<04672> (8735)_:

but a rod
<07626>

[is] for the back
<01460>

of him that is void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_.

{of understanding: Heb. of heart}

Wise
<02450>

[men] lay up
<06845> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the foolish
<0191>

[is] near
<07138>

destruction
<04288>_.

The rich man's
<06223>

wealth
<01952>

[is] his strong
<05797>

city
<07151>_:

the destruction
<04288>

of the poor
<01800>

[is] their poverty
<07389>_.

The labour
<06468>

of the righteous
<06662>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

the fruit
<08393>

of the wicked
<07563>

to sin
<02403>_.

He [is in] the way
<0734>

of life
<02416>

that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that refuseth
<05800> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

erreth
<08582> (8688)_.

{erreth: or, causeth to err}

He that hideth
<03680> (8764)

hatred
<08135>

[with] lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>_,

and he that uttereth
<03318> (8688)

a slander
<01681>_,

[is] a fool
<03684>_.

In the multitude
<07230>

of words
<01697>

there wanteth
<02308> (8799)

not sin
<06588>_:

but he that refraineth
<02820> (8802)

his lips
<08193>

[is] wise
<07919> (8688)_.

The tongue
<03956>

of the just
<06662>

[is as] choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_:

the heart
<03820>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] little worth
<04592>_.

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

feed
<07462> (8799)

many
<07227>_:

but fools
<0191>

die
<04191> (8799)

for want
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>_.

{of wisdom: Heb. of heart}

The blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

it maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_,

and he addeth
<03254> (8686)

no sorrow
<06089>

with it.

[It is] as sport
<07814>

to a fool
<03684>

to do
<06213> (8800)

mischief
<02154>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

hath wisdom
<02451>_.

The fear
<04034>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon him: but the desire
<08378>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be granted
<05414> (8799)_.

As the whirlwind
<05492>

passeth
<05674> (8800)_,

so [is] the wicked
<07563>

no [more]: but the righteous
<06662>

[is] an everlasting
<05769>

foundation
<03247>_.

As vinegar
<02558>

to the teeth
<08127>_,

and as smoke
<06227>

to the eyes
<05869>_,

so [is] the sluggard
<06102>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

him.

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

prolongeth
<03254> (8686)

days
<03117>_:

but the years
<08141>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be shortened
<07114> (8799)_.

{prolongeth: Heb. addeth}

The hope
<08431>

of the righteous
<06662>

[shall be] gladness
<08057>_:

but the expectation
<08615>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

The way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] strength
<04581>

to the upright
<08537>_:

but destruction
<04288>

[shall be] to the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_.

The righteous
<06662>

shall never
<05769>

be removed
<04131> (8735)_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall not inhabit
<07931> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_.

The mouth
<06310>

of the just
<06662>

bringeth forth
<05107> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_:

but the froward
<08419>

tongue
<03956>

shall be cut out
<03772> (8735)_.

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

know
<03045> (8799)

what is acceptable
<07522>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

[speaketh] frowardness
<08419>_.

{frowardness: Heb. frowardnesses}

A false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but a just
<08003>

weight
<068>

[is] his delight
<07522>_.

{A false...: Heb. Balances of deceit} {just...: Heb. perfect stone}

[When] pride
<02087>

cometh
<0935> (8804)_,

then cometh
<0935> (8799)

shame
<07036>_:

but with the lowly
<06800> (8803)

[is] wisdom
<02451>_.

The integrity
<08538>

of the upright
<03477>

shall guide
<05148> (8686)

them: but the perverseness
<05558>

of transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall destroy
<07703> (8799) (8675) <07703> (8804)

them.

Riches
<01952>

profit
<03276> (8686)

not in the day
<03117>

of wrath
<05678>_:

but righteousness
<06666>

delivereth
<05337> (8686)

from death
<04194>_.

The righteousness
<06666>

of the perfect
<08549>

shall direct
<03474> (8762)

his way
<01870>_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by his own wickedness
<07564>_.

{direct: Heb. rectify}

The righteousness
<06666>

of the upright
<03477>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

them: but transgressors
<0898> (8802)

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

in [their own] naughtiness
<01942>_.

When a wicked
<07563>

man
<0120>

dieth
<04194>_,

[his] expectation
<08615>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_:

and the hope
<08431>

of unjust
<0205>

[men] perisheth
<06> (8804)_.

The righteous
<06662>

is delivered out
<02502> (8738)

of trouble
<06869>_,

and the wicked
<07563>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

in his stead.

An hypocrite
<02611>

with [his] mouth
<06310>

destroyeth
<07843> (8686)

his neighbour
<07453>_:

but through knowledge
<01847>

shall the just
<06662>

be delivered
<02502> (8735)_.

When it goeth well
<02898>

with the righteous
<06662>_,

the city
<07151>

rejoiceth
<05970> (8799)_:

and when the wicked
<07563>

perish
<06> (8800)_,

[there is] shouting
<07440>_.

By the blessing
<01293>

of the upright
<03477>

the city
<07176>

is exalted
<07311> (8799)_:

but it is overthrown
<02040> (8735)

by the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

He that is void
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>

despiseth
<0936> (8802)

his neighbour
<07453>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

holdeth his peace
<02790> (8686)_.

{void...: Heb. destitute of heart}

A talebearer
<01980> (8802) <07400>

revealeth
<01540> (8764)

secrets
<05475>_:

but he that is of a faithful
<0539> (8738)

spirit
<07307>

concealeth
<03680> (8764)

the matter
<01697>_.

{A talebearer: Heb. He that walketh, being a talebearer}

Where no counsel
<08458>

[is], the people
<05971>

fall
<05307> (8799)_:

but in the multitude
<07230>

of counsellors
<03289> (8802)

[there is] safety
<08668>_.

He that is surety
<06148> (8804)

for a stranger
<02114> (8801)

shall smart
<07321> (8735) <07451>

[for it]: and he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

suretiship
<08628> (8802)

is sure
<0982> (8802)_.

{smart: Heb. be sore broken} {suretiship: Heb. those that strike hands}

A gracious
<02580>

woman
<0802>

retaineth
<08551> (8799)

honour
<03519>_:

and strong
<06184>

[men] retain
<08551> (8799)

riches
<06239>_.

The merciful
<02617>

man
<0376>

doeth good
<01580> (8802)

to his own soul
<05315>_:

but [he that is] cruel
<0394>

troubleth
<05916> (8802)

his own flesh
<07607>_.

The wicked
<07563>

worketh
<06213> (8802)

a deceitful
<08267>

work
<06468>_:

but to him that soweth
<02232> (8802)

righteousness
<06666>

[shall be] a sure
<0571>

reward
<07938>_.

As righteousness
<06666>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

so he that pursueth
<07291> (8764)

evil
<07451>

[pursueth it] to his own death
<04194>_.

They that are of a froward
<06141>

heart
<03820>

[are] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but [such as are] upright
<08549>

in [their] way
<01870>

[are] his delight
<07522>_.

[Though] hand
<03027>

[join] in hand
<03027>_,

the wicked
<07451>

shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_:

but the seed
<02233>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be delivered
<04422> (8738)_.

[As] a jewel
<05141>

of gold
<02091>

in a swine's
<02386>

snout
<0639>_,

[so is] a fair
<03303>

woman
<0802>

which is without
<05493> (8802)

discretion
<02940>_.

{is without: Heb. departeth from}

The desire
<08378>

of the righteous
<06662>

[is] only good
<02896>_:

[but] the expectation
<08615>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] wrath
<05678>_.

There is
<03426>

that scattereth
<06340> (8764)_,

and yet increaseth
<03254> (8737)_;

and [there is] that withholdeth
<02820> (8802)

more than is meet
<03476>_,

but [it tendeth] to poverty
<04270>_.

The liberal
<01293>

soul
<05315>

shall be made fat
<01878> (8792)_:

and he that watereth
<07301> (8688)

shall be watered
<03384> (8686)

also himself. {liberal...: Heb. soul of blessing}

He that withholdeth
<04513> (8802)

corn
<01250>_,

the people
<03816>

shall curse
<05344> (8799)

him: but blessing
<01293>

[shall be] upon the head
<07218>

of him that selleth
<07666> (8688)

[it].

He that diligently seeketh
<07836> (8802)

good
<02896>

procureth
<01245> (8762)

favour
<07522>_:

but he that seeketh
<01875> (8802)

mischief
<07451>_,

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto him.

He that trusteth
<0982> (8802)

in his riches
<06239>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)_:

but the righteous
<06662>

shall flourish
<06524> (8799)

as a branch
<05929>_.

He that troubleth
<05916> (8802)

his own house
<01004>

shall inherit
<05157> (8799)

the wind
<07307>_:

and the fool
<0191>

[shall be] servant
<05650>

to the wise
<02450>

of heart
<03820>_.

The fruit
<06529>

of the righteous
<06662>

[is] a tree
<06086>

of life
<02416>_;

and he that winneth
<03947> (8802)

souls
<05315>

[is] wise
<02450>_.

{winneth: Heb. taketh}

Behold, the righteous
<06662>

shall be recompensed
<07999> (8792)

in the earth
<0776>_:

much more the wicked
<07563>

and the sinner
<02398> (8802)_.

Whoso loveth
<0157> (8802)

instruction
<04148>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

[is] brutish
<01198>_.

A good
<02896>

[man] obtaineth
<06329> (8686)

favour
<07522>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

but a man
<0376>

of wicked devices
<04209>

will he condemn
<07561> (8686)_.

A man
<0120>

shall not be established
<03559> (8735)

by wickedness
<07562>_:

but the root
<08328>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.

A virtuous
<02428>

woman
<0802>

[is] a crown
<05850>

to her husband
<01167>_:

but she that maketh ashamed
<0954> (8688)

[is] as rottenness
<07538>

in his bones
<06106>_.

The thoughts
<04284>

of the righteous
<06662>

[are] right
<04941>_:

[but] the counsels
<08458>

of the wicked
<07563>

[are] deceit
<04820>_.

The words
<01697>

of the wicked
<07563>

[are] to lie in wait
<0693> (8800)

for blood
<01818>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the upright
<03477>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

them.

The wicked
<07563>

are overthrown
<02015> (8800)_,

and [are] not: but the house
<01004>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall stand
<05975> (8799)_.

A man
<0376>

shall be commended
<01984> (8792)

according
<06310>

to his wisdom
<07922>_:

but he that is of a perverse
<05753> (8737)

heart
<03820>

shall be despised
<0937>_.

{of a...: Heb. perverse of heart}

[He that is] despised
<07034> (8737)_,

and hath a servant
<05650>_,

[is] better
<02896>

than he that honoureth
<03513> (8693)

himself, and lacketh
<02638>

bread
<03899>_.

A righteous
<06662>

[man] regardeth
<03045> (8802)

the life
<05315>

of his beast
<0929>_:

but the tender mercies
<07356>

of the wicked
<07563>

[are] cruel
<0394>_.

{tender...: or, bowels}

He that tilleth
<05647> (8802)

his land
<0127>

shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with bread
<03899>_:

but he that followeth
<07291> (8764)

vain
<07386>

[persons is] void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_.

The wicked
<07563>

desireth
<02530> (8804)

the net
<04685>

of evil
<07451>

[men]: but the root
<08328>

of the righteous
<06662>

yieldeth
<05414> (8799)

[fruit]. {the net: or, the fortress}

The wicked
<07451>

is snared
<04170>

by the transgression
<06588>

of [his] lips
<08193>_:

but the just
<06662>

shall come out
<03318> (8799)

of trouble
<06869>_.

{The wicked...: Heb. The snare of the wicked is in the transgression of lips}

A man
<0376>

shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with good
<02896>

by the fruit
<06529>

of [his] mouth
<06310>_:

and the recompence
<01576>

of a man's
<0120>

hands
<03027>

shall be rendered
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)

unto him.

The way
<01870>

of a fool
<0191>

[is] right
<03477>

in his own eyes
<05869>_:

but he that hearkeneth
<08085> (8802)

unto counsel
<06098>

[is] wise
<02450>_.

A fool's
<0191>

wrath
<03708>

is presently
<03117>

known
<03045> (8735)_:

but a prudent
<06175>

[man] covereth
<03680> (8802)

shame
<07036>_.

{presently: Heb. in that day}

[He that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

truth
<0530>

sheweth forth
<05046> (8686)

righteousness
<06664>_:

but a false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

deceit
<04820>_.

There is
<03426>

that speaketh
<0981> (8802)

like the piercings
<04094>

of a sword
<02719>_:

but the tongue
<03956>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] health
<04832>_.

The lip
<08193>

of truth
<0571>

shall be established
<03559> (8735)

for ever
<05703>_:

but a lying
<08267>

tongue
<03956>

[is] but for a moment
<07280> (8686)_.

Deceit
<04820>

[is] in the heart
<03820>

of them that imagine
<02790> (8802)

evil
<07451>_:

but to the counsellors
<03289> (8802)

of peace
<07965>

[is] joy
<08057>_.

There shall no evil
<0205>

happen
<0579> (8792)

to the just
<06662>_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall be filled
<04390> (8804)

with mischief
<07451>_.

Lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>

[are] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but they that deal
<06213> (8802)

truly
<0530>

[are] his delight
<07522>_.

A prudent
<06175>

man
<0120>

concealeth
<03680> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the heart
<03820>

of fools
<03684>

proclaimeth
<07121> (8799)

foolishness
<0200>_.

The hand
<03027>

of the diligent
<02742>

shall bear rule
<04910> (8799)_:

but the slothful
<07423>

shall be under tribute
<04522>_.

{slothful: or, deceitful}

Heaviness
<01674>

in the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

maketh it stoop
<07812> (8686)_:

but a good
<02896>

word
<01697>

maketh it glad
<08055> (8762)_.

The righteous
<06662>

[is] more excellent
<08446> (8686)

than his neighbour
<07453>_:

but the way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

seduceth
<08582> (8686)

them. {excellent: or, abundant}

The slothful
<07423>

[man] roasteth
<02760> (8799)

not that which he took in hunting
<06718>_:

but the substance
<01952>

of a diligent
<02742>

man
<0120>

[is] precious
<03368>_.

In the way
<0734>

of righteousness
<06666>

[is] life
<02416>_;

and [in] the pathway
<05410> <01870>

[thereof there is] no death
<04194>_.

A wise
<02450>

son
<01121>

[heareth] his father's
<01>

instruction
<04148>_:

but a scorner
<03887> (8801)

heareth
<08085> (8804)

not rebuke
<01606>_.

A man
<0376>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

good
<02896>

by the fruit
<06529>

of [his] mouth
<06310>_:

but the soul
<05315>

of the transgressors
<0898> (8802)

[shall eat] violence
<02555>_.

He that keepeth
<05341> (8802)

his mouth
<06310>

keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his life
<05315>_:

[but] he that openeth wide
<06589> (8802)

his lips
<08193>

shall have destruction
<04288>_.

The soul
<05315>

of the sluggard
<06102>

desireth
<0183> (8693)_,

and [hath] nothing: but the soul
<05315>

of the diligent
<02742>

shall be made fat
<01878> (8792)_.

A righteous
<06662>

[man] hateth
<08130> (8799)

lying
<01697> <08267>_:

but a wicked
<07563>

[man] is loathsome
<0887> (8686)_,

and cometh to shame
<02659> (8686)_.

Righteousness
<06666>

keepeth
<05341> (8799)

[him that is] upright
<08537>

in the way
<01870>_:

but wickedness
<07564>

overthroweth
<05557> (8762)

the sinner
<02403>_.

{the sinner: Heb. sin}

There is
<03426>

that maketh himself rich
<06238> (8693)_,

yet [hath] nothing: [there is] that maketh himself poor
<07326> (8711)_,

yet
<03605>

[hath] great
<07227>

riches
<01952>_.

The ransom
<03724>

of a man's
<0376>

life
<05315>

[are] his riches
<06239>_:

but the poor
<07326> (8802)

heareth
<08085> (8804)

not rebuke
<01606>_.

The light
<0216>

of the righteous
<06662>

rejoiceth
<08055> (8799)_:

but the lamp
<05216>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be put out
<01846> (8799)_.

{lamp: or, candle}

Only by pride
<02087>

cometh
<05414> (8799)

contention
<04683>_:

but with the well advised
<03289> (8737)

[is] wisdom
<02451>_.

Wealth
<01952>

[gotten] by vanity
<01892>

shall be diminished
<04591> (8799)_:

but he that gathereth
<06908> (8802)

by labour
<03027>

shall increase
<07235> (8686)_.

{by labour: Heb. with the hand}

Hope
<08431>

deferred
<04900> (8794)

maketh the heart
<03820>

sick
<02470> (8688)_:

but [when] the desire
<08378>

cometh
<0935> (8802)_,

[it is] a tree
<06086>

of life
<02416>_.

Whoso despiseth
<0936> (8802)

the word
<01697>

shall be destroyed
<02254> (8735)_:

but he that feareth
<03373>

the commandment
<04687>

shall be rewarded
<07999> (8792)_.

{shall be rewarded: or, shall be in peace}

The law
<08451>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] a fountain
<04726>

of life
<02416>_,

to depart
<05493> (8800)

from the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>_.

Good
<02896>

understanding
<07922>

giveth
<05414> (8799)

favour
<02580>_:

but the way
<01870>

of transgressors
<0898> (8802)

[is] hard
<0386>_.

Every prudent
<06175>

[man] dealeth
<06213> (8799)

with knowledge
<01847>_:

but a fool
<03684>

layeth open
<06566> (8799)

[his] folly
<0200>_.

{layeth...: Heb. spreadeth}

A wicked
<07563>

messenger
<04397>

falleth
<05307> (8799)

into mischief
<07451>_:

but a faithful
<0529>

ambassador
<06735>

[is] health
<04832>_.

{a faithful...: Heb. an ambassador of faithfulness}

Poverty
<07389>

and shame
<07036>

[shall be to] him that refuseth
<06544> (8802)

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that regardeth
<08104> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

shall be honoured
<03513> (8792)_.

The desire
<08378>

accomplished
<01961> (8738)

is sweet
<06149> (8799)

to the soul
<05315>_:

but [it is] abomination
<08441>

to fools
<03684>

to depart
<05493> (8800)

from evil
<07451>_.

He that walketh
<01980> (8802)

with wise
<02450>

[men] shall be wise
<02449> (8799)_:

but a companion
<07462> (8802)

of fools
<03684>

shall be destroyed
<07321> (8735)_.

{destroyed: Heb. broken}

Evil
<07451>

pursueth
<07291> (8762)

sinners
<02400>_:

but to the righteous
<06662>

good
<02896>

shall be repayed
<07999> (8762)_.

A good
<02896>

[man] leaveth an inheritance
<05157> (8686)

to his children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_:

and the wealth
<02428>

of the sinner
<02398> (8802)

[is] laid up
<06845> (8803)

for the just
<06662>_.

Much
<07230>

food
<0400>

[is in] the tillage
<05215>

of the poor
<07218> (8676) <07326> (8802)_:

but there is
<03426>

[that is] destroyed
<05595> (8737)

for want
<03808>

of judgment
<04941>_.

He that spareth
<02820> (8802)

his rod
<07626>

hateth
<08130> (8802)

his son
<01121>_:

but he that loveth
<0157> (8802)

him chasteneth
<04148>

him betimes
<07836> (8765)_.

The righteous
<06662>

eateth
<0398> (8802)

to the satisfying
<07648>

of his soul
<05315>_:

but the belly
<0990>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall want
<02637> (8799)_.

Every wise
<02454>

woman
<0802>

buildeth
<01129> (8804)

her house
<01004>_:

but the foolish
<0200>

plucketh it down
<02040> (8799)

with her hands
<03027>_.

He that walketh
<01980> (8802)

in his uprightness
<03476>

feareth
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_:

but [he that is] perverse
<03868> (8737)

in his ways
<01870>

despiseth
<0959> (8802)

him.

In the mouth
<06310>

of the foolish
<0191>

[is] a rod
<02415>

of pride
<01346>_:

but the lips
<08193>

of the wise
<02450>

shall preserve
<08104> (8799)

them.

Where no oxen
<0504>

[are], the crib
<018>

[is] clean
<01249>_:

but much
<07230>

increase
<08393>

[is] by the strength
<03581>

of the ox
<07794>_.

A faithful
<0529>

witness
<05707>

will not lie
<03577>_:

but a false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

will utter
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03576> (8762)_.

A scorner
<03887> (8801)

seeketh
<01245> (8765)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and [findeth it] not: but knowledge
<01847>

[is] easy
<07043> (8738)

unto him that understandeth
<0995> (8737)_.

Go
<03212> (8798)

from the presence
<05048>

of a foolish
<03684>

man
<0376>_,

when thou perceivest
<03045> (8804)

not [in him] the lips
<08193>

of knowledge
<01847>_.

The wisdom
<02451>

of the prudent
<06175>

[is] to understand
<0995> (8687)

his way
<01870>_:

but the folly
<0200>

of fools
<03684>

[is] deceit
<04820>_.

Fools
<0191>

make a mock
<03887> (8686)

at sin
<0817>_:

but among the righteous
<03477>

[there is] favour
<07522>_.

The heart
<03820>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

his own
<05315>

bitterness
<04787>_;

and a stranger
<02114> (8801)

doth not intermeddle
<06148> (8691)

with his joy
<08057>_.

{his own...: Heb. the bitterness of his soul}

The house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be overthrown
<08045> (8735)_:

but the tabernacle
<0168>

of the upright
<03477>

shall flourish
<06524> (8686)_.

There is
<03426>

a way
<01870>

which seemeth right
<03477>

unto
<06440>

a man
<0376>_,

but the end
<0319>

thereof [are] the ways
<01870>

of death
<04194>_.

Even in laughter
<07814>

the heart
<03820>

is sorrowful
<03510> (8799)_;

and the end
<0319>

of that mirth
<08057>

[is] heaviness
<08424>_.

The backslider
<05472> (8803)

in heart
<03820>

shall be filled
<07646> (8799)

with his own ways
<01870>_:

and a good
<02896>

man
<0376>

[shall be satisfied] from himself.

The simple
<06612>

believeth
<0539> (8686)

every word
<01697>_:

but the prudent
<06175>

[man] looketh well
<0995> (8799)

to his going
<0838>_.

A wise
<02450>

[man] feareth
<03373>_,

and departeth
<05493> (8802)

from evil
<07451>_:

but the fool
<03684>

rageth
<05674> (8693)_,

and is confident
<0982> (8802)_.

[He that is] soon
<07116>

angry
<0639>

dealeth
<06213> (8799)

foolishly
<0200>_:

and a man
<0376>

of wicked devices
<04209>

is hated
<08130> (8735)_.

The simple
<06612>

inherit
<05157> (8804)

folly
<0200>_:

but the prudent
<06175>

are crowned
<03803> (8686)

with knowledge
<01847>_.

The evil
<07451>

bow
<07817> (8804)

before
<06440>

the good
<02896>_;

and the wicked
<07563>

at the gates
<08179>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

The poor
<07326> (8802)

is hated
<08130> (8735)

even of his own neighbour
<07453>_:

but the rich
<06223>

[hath] many
<07227>

friends
<0157> (8802)_.

{the rich...: Heb. many are the lovers of the rich}

He that despiseth
<0936> (8802)

his neighbour
<07453>

sinneth
<02398> (8802)_:

but he that hath mercy
<02603> (8781)

on the poor
<06035> (8675) <06041>_,

happy
<0835>

[is] he.

Do they not err
<08582> (8799)

that devise
<02790> (8802)

evil
<07451>_?

but mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

[shall be] to them that devise
<02790> (8802)

good
<02896>_.

In all labour
<06089>

there is profit
<04195>_:

but the talk
<01697>

of the lips
<08193>

[tendeth] only to penury
<04270>_.

The crown
<05850>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] their riches
<06239>_:

[but] the foolishness
<0200>

of fools
<03684>

[is] folly
<0200>_.

A true
<0571>

witness
<05707>

delivereth
<05337> (8688)

souls
<05315>_:

but a deceitful
<04820>

[witness] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>_.

In the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] strong
<05797>

confidence
<04009>_:

and his children
<01121>

shall have a place of refuge
<04268>_.

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] a fountain
<04726>

of life
<02416>_,

to depart
<05493> (8800)

from the snares
<04170>

of death
<04194>_.

In the multitude
<07230>

of people
<05971>

[is] the king's
<04428>

honour
<01927>_:

but in the want
<0657>

of people
<03816>

[is] the destruction
<04288>

of the prince
<07333>_.

[He that is] slow
<0750>

to wrath
<0639>

[is] of great
<07227>

understanding
<08394>_:

but [he that is] hasty
<07116>

of spirit
<07307>

exalteth
<07311> (8688)

folly
<0200>_.

{hasty...: Heb. short of spirit}

A sound
<04832>

heart
<03820>

[is] the life
<02416>

of the flesh
<01320>_:

but envy
<07068>

the rottenness
<07538>

of the bones
<06106>_.

He that oppresseth
<06231> (8802)

the poor
<01800>

reproacheth
<02778> (8765)

his Maker
<06213> (8802)_:

but he that honoureth
<03513> (8764)

him hath mercy
<02603> (8802)

on the poor
<034>_.

The wicked
<07563>

is driven away
<01760> (8735)

in his wickedness
<07451>_:

but the righteous
<06662>

hath hope
<02620> (8802)

in his death
<04194>_.

Wisdom
<02451>

resteth
<05117> (8799)

in the heart
<03820>

of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)_:

but [that which is] in the midst
<07130>

of fools
<03684>

is made known
<03045> (8735)_.

Righteousness
<06666>

exalteth
<07311> (8787)

a nation
<01471>_:

but sin
<02403>

[is] a reproach
<02617>

to any people
<03816>_.

{to any...: Heb. to nations}

The king's
<04428>

favour
<07522>

[is] toward a wise
<07919> (8688)

servant
<05650>_:

but his wrath
<05678>

is [against] him that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_.

A soft
<07390>

answer
<04617>

turneth
<07725> (8686)

away wrath
<02534>_:

but grievous
<06089>

words
<01697>

stir up
<05927> (8686)

anger
<0639>_.

The tongue
<03956>

of the wise
<02450>

useth knowledge
<01847>

aright
<03190> (8686)_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of fools
<03684>

poureth out
<05042> (8686)

foolishness
<0200>_.

{poureth: Heb. belcheth, or, bubbleth}

The eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

[are] in every place
<04725>_,

beholding
<06822> (8802)

the evil
<07451>

and the good
<02896>_.

A wholesome
<04832>

tongue
<03956>

[is] a tree
<06086>

of life
<02416>_:

but perverseness
<05558>

therein [is] a breach
<07667>

in the spirit
<07307>_.

{A wholesome...: Heb. The healing of the tongue}

A fool
<0191>

despiseth
<05006> (8799)

his father's
<01>

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that regardeth
<08104> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

is prudent
<06191> (8686)_.

In the house
<01004>

of the righteous
<06662>

[is] much
<07227>

treasure
<02633>_:

but in the revenues
<08393>

of the wicked
<07563>

is trouble
<05916> (8737)_.

The lips
<08193>

of the wise
<02450>

disperse
<02219> (8762)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the heart
<03820>

of the foolish
<03684>

[doeth] not so.

The sacrifice
<02077>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but the prayer
<08605>

of the upright
<03477>

[is] his delight
<07522>_.

The way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

but he loveth
<0157> (8799)

him that followeth
<07291> (8764)

after righteousness
<06666>_.

Correction
<04148>

[is] grievous
<07451>

unto him that forsaketh
<05800> (8802)

the way
<0734>_:

[and] he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

{Correction: or, Instruction}

Hell
<07585>

and destruction
<011>

[are] before the LORD
<03068>_:

how much more then the hearts
<03826>

of the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>_?

A scorner
<03887> (8801)

loveth
<0157> (8799)

not one that reproveth
<03198> (8687)

him: neither will he go
<03212> (8799)

unto the wise
<02450>_.

A merry
<08056>

heart
<03820>

maketh a cheerful
<03190> (8686)

countenance
<06440>_:

but by sorrow
<06094>

of the heart
<03820>

the spirit
<07307>

is broken
<05218>_.

The heart
<03820>

of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)

seeketh
<01245> (8762)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the mouth
<06310> (8675) <06440>

of fools
<03684>

feedeth
<07462> (8799)

on foolishness
<0200>_.

All the days
<03117>

of the afflicted
<06041>

[are] evil
<07451>_:

but he that is of a merry
<02896>

heart
<03820>

[hath] a continual
<08548>

feast
<04960>_.

Better
<02896>

[is] little
<04592>

with the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

than great
<07227>

treasure
<0214>

and trouble
<04103>

therewith.

Better
<02896>

[is] a dinner
<0737>

of herbs
<03419>

where love
<0160>

is, than a stalled
<075> (8803)

ox
<07794>

and hatred
<08135>

therewith.

A wrathful
<02534>

man
<0376>

stirreth up
<01624> (8762)

strife
<04066>_:

but [he that is] slow
<0750>

to anger
<0639>

appeaseth
<08252> (8686)

strife
<07379>_.

The way
<01870>

of the slothful
<06102>

[man is] as an hedge
<04881>

of thorns
<02312>_:

but the way
<0734>

of the righteous
<03477>

[is] made plain
<05549> (8803)_.

{is made...: Heb. is raised up as a causey}

A wise
<02450>

son
<01121>

maketh a glad
<08055> (8762)

father
<01>_:

but a foolish
<03684>

man
<0120>

despiseth
<0959> (8802)

his mother
<0517>_.

Folly
<0200>

[is] joy
<08057>

to [him that is] destitute
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

walketh
<03212> (8800)

uprightly
<03474> (8762)_.

{destitute...: Heb. void of heart}

Without counsel
<05475>

purposes
<04284>

are disappointed
<06565> (8687)_:

but in the multitude
<07230>

of counsellors
<03289> (8802)

they are established
<06965> (8799)_.

A man
<0376>

hath joy
<08057>

by the answer
<04617>

of his mouth
<06310>_:

and a word
<01697>

[spoken] in due season
<06256>_,

how good
<02896>

[is it]! {due...: Heb. his season}

The way
<0734>

of life
<02416>

[is] above
<04605>

to the wise
<07919> (8688)_,

that he may depart
<05493> (8800)

from hell
<07585>

beneath
<04295>_.

The LORD
<03068>

will destroy
<05255> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the proud
<01343>_:

but he will establish
<05324> (8686)

the border
<01366>

of the widow
<0490>_.

The thoughts
<04284>

of the wicked
<07451>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but [the words] of the pure
<02889>

[are] pleasant
<05278>

words
<0561>_.

{pleasant...: Heb. words of pleasantness}

He that is greedy
<01214> (8802)

of gain
<01215>

troubleth
<05916> (8802)

his own house
<01004>_;

but he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

gifts
<04979>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_.

The heart
<03820>

of the righteous
<06662>

studieth
<01897> (8799)

to answer
<06030> (8800)_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

poureth
<05042> (8686)

out evil things
<07451>_.

The LORD
<03068>

[is] far
<07350>

from the wicked
<07563>_:

but he heareth
<08085> (8799)

the prayer
<08605>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

The light
<03974>

of the eyes
<05869>

rejoiceth
<08055> (8762)

the heart
<03820>_:

[and] a good
<02896>

report
<08052>

maketh
<01878> (0)

the bones
<06106>

fat
<01878> (8762)_.

The ear
<0241>

that heareth
<08085> (8802)

the reproof
<08433>

of life
<02416>

abideth
<03885> (8799)

among
<07130>

the wise
<02450>_.

He that refuseth
<06544> (8802)

instruction
<04148>

despiseth
<03988> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

but he that heareth
<08085> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

getteth
<07069> (8802)

understanding
<03820>_.

{instruction: or, correction} {heareth: or, obeyeth} {getteth...: Heb. possesseth an heart}

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] the instruction
<04148>

of wisdom
<02451>_;

and before
<06440>

honour
<03519>

[is] humility
<06038>_.

The preparations
<04633>

of the heart
<03820>

in man
<0120>_,

and the answer
<04617>

of the tongue
<03956>_,

[is] from the LORD
<03068>_.

{preparations: or, disposings}

All the ways
<01870>

of a man
<0376>

[are] clean
<02134>

in his own eyes
<05869>_;

but the LORD
<03068>

weigheth
<08505> (8802)

the spirits
<07307>_.

Commit
<01556> (8798)

thy works
<04639>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy thoughts
<04284>

shall be established
<03559> (8735)_.

{Commit: Heb. Roll}

The LORD
<03068>

hath made
<06466> (8804)

all [things] for himself
<04617>_:

yea, even the wicked
<07563>

for the day
<03117>

of evil
<07451>_.

Every one [that is] proud
<01362>

in heart
<03820>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

[though] hand
<03027>

[join] in hand
<03027>_,

he shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_.

{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}

By mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

iniquity
<05771>

is purged
<03722> (8792)_:

and by the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[men] depart
<05493> (8800)

from evil
<07451>_.

When a man's
<0376>

ways
<01870>

please
<07521> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_,

he maketh even his enemies
<0341> (8802)

to be at peace
<07999> (8686)

with him.

Better
<02896>

[is] a little
<04592>

with righteousness
<06666>

than great
<07230>

revenues
<08393>

without right
<04941>_.

A man's
<0120>

heart
<03820>

deviseth
<02803> (8762)

his way
<01870>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

directeth
<03559> (8686)

his steps
<06806>_.

A divine sentence
<07081>

[is] in the lips
<08193>

of the king
<04428>_:

his mouth
<06310>

transgresseth
<04603> (8799)

not in judgment
<04941>_.

{A divine...: Heb. Divination}

A just
<04941>

weight
<06425>

and balance
<03976>

[are] the LORD'S
<03068>_:

all the weights
<068>

of the bag
<03599>

[are] his work
<04639>_.

{the weights: Heb. the stones}

[It is] an abomination
<08441>

to kings
<04428>

to commit
<06213> (8800)

wickedness
<07562>_:

for the throne
<03678>

is established
<03559> (8735)

by righteousness
<06666>_.

Righteous
<06664>

lips
<08193>

[are] the delight
<07522>

of kings
<04428>_;

and they love
<0157> (8799)

him that speaketh
<01696> (8802)

right
<03477>_.

The wrath
<02534>

of a king
<04428>

[is as] messengers
<04397>

of death
<04194>_:

but a wise
<02450>

man
<0376>

will pacify
<03722> (8762)

it.

In the light
<0216>

of the king's
<04428>

countenance
<06440>

[is] life
<02416>_;

and his favour
<07522>

[is] as a cloud
<05645>

of the latter rain
<04456>_.

How much better
<02896>

[is it] to get
<07069> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>

than gold
<02742>_!

and to get
<07069> (8800)

understanding
<0998>

rather to be chosen
<0977> (8737)

than silver
<03701>_!

The highway
<04546>

of the upright
<03477>

[is] to depart
<05493> (8800)

from evil
<07451>_:

he that keepeth
<05341> (8802)

his way
<01870>

preserveth
<08104> (8802)

his soul
<05315>_.

Pride
<01347>

[goeth] before
<06440>

destruction
<07667>_,

and an haughty
<01363>

spirit
<07307>

before
<06440>

a fall
<03783>_.

Better
<02896>

[it is to be] of an humble
<08217>

spirit
<07307>

with the lowly
<06035> (8675) <06041>_,

than to divide
<02505> (8763)

the spoil
<07998>

with the proud
<01343>_.

He that handleth a matter
<01697>

wisely
<07919> (8688)

shall find
<04672> (8799)

good
<02896>_:

and whoso trusteth
<0982> (8802)

in the LORD
<03068>_,

happy
<0835>

[is] he. {handleth...: or, understandeth a matter}

The wise
<02450>

in heart
<03820>

shall be called
<07121> (8735)

prudent
<0995> (8737)_:

and the sweetness
<04986>

of the lips
<08193>

increaseth
<03254> (8686)

learning
<03948>_.

Understanding
<07922>

[is] a wellspring
<04726>

of life
<02416>

unto him that hath
<01167>

it: but the instruction
<04148>

of fools
<0191>

[is] folly
<0200>_.

The heart
<03820>

of the wise
<02450>

teacheth
<07919> (8686)

his mouth
<06310>_,

and addeth
<03254> (8686)

learning
<03948>

to his lips
<08193>_.

{teacheth: Heb. maketh wise}

Pleasant
<05278>

words
<0561>

[are as] an honeycomb
<06688> <01706>_,

sweet
<04966>

to the soul
<05315>_,

and health
<04832>

to the bones
<06106>_.

There is
<03426>

a way
<01870>

that seemeth right
<03477>

unto
<06440>

a man
<0376>_,

but the end
<0319>

thereof [are] the ways
<01870>

of death
<04194>_.

He
<05315>

that laboureth
<06001>

laboureth
<05998> (8804)

for himself; for his mouth
<06310>

craveth
<0404> (8804)

it of him. {He...: Heb. The soul of him that} {craveth...: Heb. boweth unto him}

An ungodly
<01100>

man
<0376>

diggeth up
<03738> (8802)

evil
<07451>_:

and in his lips
<08193>

[there is] as a burning
<06867>

fire
<0784>_.

{An...: Heb. A man of Belial}

A froward
<08419>

man
<0376>

soweth
<07971> (8762)

strife
<04066>_:

and a whisperer
<05372>

separateth
<06504> (8688)

chief friends
<0441>_.

{soweth: Heb. sendeth forth}

A violent
<02555>

man
<0376>

enticeth
<06601> (8762)

his neighbour
<07453>_,

and leadeth
<03212> (8689)

him into the way
<01870>

[that is] not good
<02896>_.

He shutteth
<06095> (8802)

his eyes
<05869>

to devise
<02803> (8800)

froward things
<08419>_:

moving
<07169> (8802)

his lips
<08193>

he bringeth
<03615> (0)

evil
<07451>

to pass
<03615> (8765)_.

The hoary head
<07872>

[is] a crown
<05850>

of glory
<08597>_,

[if] it be found
<04672> (8735)

in the way
<01870>

of righteousness
<06666>_.

[He that is] slow
<0750>

to anger
<0639>

[is] better
<02896>

than the mighty
<01368>_;

and he that ruleth
<04910> (8802)

his spirit
<07307>

than he that taketh
<03920> (8802)

a city
<05892>_.

The lot
<01486>

is cast
<02904> (8714)

into the lap
<02436>_;

but the whole disposing
<04941>

thereof [is] of the LORD
<03068>_.

Better
<02896>

[is] a dry
<02720>

morsel
<06595>_,

and quietness
<07962>

therewith, than an house
<01004>

full
<04392>

of sacrifices
<02077>

[with] strife
<07379>_.

{sacrifices: or, good cheer}

A wise
<07919> (8688)

servant
<05650>

shall have rule
<04910> (8799)

over a son
<01121>

that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_,

and shall have part
<02505> (8799)

of the inheritance
<05159>

among
<08432>

the brethren
<0251>_.

The fining pot
<04715>

[is] for silver
<03701>_,

and the furnace
<03564>

for gold
<02091>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

trieth
<0974> (8802)

the hearts
<03826>_.

A wicked doer
<07489> (8688)

giveth heed
<07181> (8688)

to false
<0205>

lips
<08193>_;

[and] a liar
<08267>

giveth ear
<0238> (8688)

to a naughty
<01942>

tongue
<03956>_.

Whoso mocketh
<03932> (8802)

the poor
<07326> (8802)

reproacheth
<02778> (8765)

his Maker
<06213> (8802)_:

[and] he that is glad
<08056>

at calamities
<0343>

shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_.

{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}

Children's
<01121>

children
<01121>

[are] the crown
<05850>

of old men
<02205>_;

and the glory
<08597>

of children
<01121>

[are] their fathers
<01>_.

Excellent
<03499>

speech
<08193>

becometh
<05000>

not a fool
<05036>_:

much less do lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>

a prince
<05081>_.

{Excellent...: Heb. A lip of excellency} {lying...: Heb. a lip of lying}

A gift
<07810>

[is as] a precious
<02580>

stone
<068>

in the eyes
<05869>

of him that hath
<01167>

it: whithersoever it turneth
<06437> (8799)_,

it prospereth
<07919> (8686)_.

{a precious...: Heb. a stone of grace}

He that covereth
<03680> (8764)

a transgression
<06588>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

love
<0160>_;

but he that repeateth
<08138> (8802)

a matter
<01697>

separateth
<06504> (8688)

[very] friends
<0441>_.

{seeketh: or, procureth}

A reproof
<01606>

entereth
<05181> (8799)

more into a wise man
<0995> (8688)

than an hundred
<03967>

stripes
<05221> (8687)

into a fool
<03684>_.

{entereth...: or, aweth more a wise man, than to strike a fool an hundred times}

An evil
<07451>

[man] seeketh
<01245> (8762)

only rebellion
<04805>_:

therefore a cruel
<0394>

messenger
<04397>

shall be sent
<07971> (8792)

against him.

Let a bear
<01677>

robbed
<07909>

of her whelps meet
<06298> (8800)

a man
<0376>_,

rather than
<0408>

a fool
<03684>

in his folly
<0200>_.

Whoso rewardeth
<07725> (8688)

evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>_,

evil
<07451>

shall not depart
<04185> (8799) (8675) <04185> (8686)

from his house
<01004>_.

The beginning
<07225>

of strife
<04066>

[is as] when one letteth out
<06362> (8802)

water
<04325>_:

therefore leave off
<05203> (8800)

contention
<07379>_,

before
<06440>

it be meddled
<01566> (8694)

with.

He that justifieth
<06663> (8688)

the wicked
<07563>_,

and he that condemneth
<07561> (8688)

the just
<06662>_,

even they both
<08147>

[are] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_.

Wherefore [is there] a price
<04242>

in the hand
<03027>

of a fool
<03684>

to get
<07069> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>_,

seeing [he hath] no heart
<03820>

[to it]?

A friend
<07453>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

at all times
<06256>_,

and a brother
<0251>

is born
<03205> (8735)

for adversity
<06869>_.

A man
<0120>

void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>

striketh
<08628> (8802)

hands
<03709>_,

[and] becometh
<06148> (8802)

surety
<06161>

in the presence
<06440>

of his friend
<07453>_.

{understanding: Heb. heart}

He loveth
<0157> (8802)

transgression
<06588>

that loveth
<0157> (8802)

strife
<04683>_:

[and] he that exalteth
<01361> (8688)

his gate
<06607>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

destruction
<07667>_.

He that hath a froward
<06141>

heart
<03820>

findeth
<04672> (8799)

no good
<02896>_:

and he that hath a perverse
<02015> (8738)

tongue
<03956>

falleth
<05307> (8799)

into mischief
<07451>_.

{He that hath a froward...: Heb. The froward of heart}

He that begetteth
<03205> (8802)

a fool
<03684>

[doeth it] to his sorrow
<08424>_:

and the father
<01>

of a fool
<05036>

hath no joy
<08055> (8799)_.

A merry
<08056>

heart
<03820>

doeth good
<03190> (8686)

[like] a medicine
<01456>_:

but a broken
<05218>

spirit
<07307>

drieth
<03001> (8762)

the bones
<01634>_.

{like: or, to}

A wicked
<07563>

[man] taketh
<03947> (8799)

a gift
<07810>

out of the bosom
<02436>

to pervert
<05186> (8687)

the ways
<0734>

of judgment
<04941>_.

Wisdom
<02451>

[is] before him that hath understanding
<06440> <0995> (8688)_;

but the eyes
<05869>

of a fool
<03684>

[are] in the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_.

A foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] a grief
<03708>

to his father
<01>_,

and bitterness
<04470>

to her that bare
<03205> (8802)

him.

Also to punish
<06064> (8800)

the just
<06662>

[is] not good
<02896>_,

[nor] to strike
<05221> (8687)

princes
<05081>

for equity
<03476>_.

He that hath
<03045> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>

spareth
<02820> (8802)

his words
<0561>_:

[and] a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

is of an excellent
<03368> (8675) <07119>

spirit
<07307>_.

{an...: or, a cool}

Even a fool
<0191>_,

when he holdeth his peace
<02790> (8688)_,

is counted
<02803> (8735)

wise
<02450>_:

[and] he that shutteth
<0331> (8801)

his lips
<08193>

[is esteemed] a man of understanding
<0995> (8737)_.

Through desire
<08378>

a man, having separated
<06504> (8737)

himself, seeketh
<01245> (8762)

[and] intermeddleth
<01566> (8691)

with all wisdom
<08454>_.

{Through...: or, He that separateth himself seeketh according to his desire, and intermeddleth in every business}

A fool
<03684>

hath no delight
<02654> (8799)

in understanding
<08394>_,

but that his heart
<03820>

may discover
<01540> (8692)

itself.

When the wicked
<07563>

cometh
<0935> (8800)_,

[then] cometh
<0935> (8804)

also contempt
<0937>_,

and with ignominy
<07036>

reproach
<02781>_.

The words
<01697>

of a man's
<0376>

mouth
<06310>

[are as] deep
<06013>

waters
<04325>_,

[and] the wellspring
<04726>

of wisdom
<02451>

[as] a flowing
<05042> (8802)

brook
<05158>_.

[It is] not good
<02896>

to accept
<05375> (8800)

the person
<06440>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

to overthrow
<05186> (8687)

the righteous
<06662>

in judgment
<04941>_.

A fool's
<03684>

lips
<08193>

enter
<0935> (8799)

into contention
<07379>_,

and his mouth
<06310>

calleth
<07121> (8799)

for strokes
<04112>_.

A fool's
<03684>

mouth
<06310>

[is] his destruction
<04288>_,

and his lips
<08193>

[are] the snare
<04170>

of his soul
<05315>_.

The words
<01697>

of a talebearer
<05372>

[are] as wounds
<03859> (8693)_,

and they go down
<03381> (8804)

into the innermost parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{talebearer: or, whisperer} {as wounds: or, like as when men are wounded} {most...: Heb. chambers}

He also that is slothful
<07503> (8693)

in his work
<04399>

is brother
<0251>

to him that is a great
<01167>

waster
<07843> (8688)_.

The name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] a strong
<05797>

tower
<04026>_:

the righteous
<06662>

runneth
<07323> (8799)

into it, and is safe
<07682> (8738)_.

{safe: Heb. set aloft}

The rich man's
<06223>

wealth
<01952>

[is] his strong
<05797>

city
<07151>_,

and as an high
<07682> (8737)

wall
<02346>

in his own conceit
<04906>_.

Before
<06440>

destruction
<07667>

the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

is haughty
<01361> (8799)_,

and before
<06440>

honour
<03519>

[is] humility
<06038>_.

He that answereth
<07725> (8688)

a matter
<01697>

before he heareth
<08085> (8799)

[it], it [is] folly
<0200>

and shame
<03639>

unto him. {answereth...: Heb. returneth a word}

The spirit
<07307>

of a man
<0376>

will sustain
<03557> (8770)

his infirmity
<04245>_;

but a wounded
<05218>

spirit
<07307>

who can bear
<05375> (8799)_?

The heart
<03820>

of the prudent
<0995> (8737)

getteth
<07069> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_;

and the ear
<0241>

of the wise
<02450>

seeketh
<01245> (8762)

knowledge
<01847>_.

A man's
<0120>

gift
<04976>

maketh room
<07337> (8686)

for him, and bringeth
<05148> (8686)

him before
<06440>

great men
<01419>_.

[He that is] first
<07223>

in his own cause
<07379>

[seemeth] just
<06662>_;

but his neighbour
<07453>

cometh
<0935> (8804) (8675) <0935> (8799)

and searcheth
<02713> (8804)

him.

The lot
<01486>

causeth contentions
<04079>

to cease
<07673> (8686)_,

and parteth
<06504> (8686)

between the mighty
<06099>_.

A brother
<0251>

offended
<06586> (8737)

[is harder to be won] than a strong
<05797>

city
<07151>_:

and [their] contentions
<04079> (8675) <04066>

[are] like the bars
<01280>

of a castle
<0759>_.

A man's
<0376>

belly
<0990>

shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with the fruit
<06529>

of his mouth
<06310>_;

[and] with the increase
<08393>

of his lips
<08193>

shall he be filled
<07646> (8799)_.

Death
<04194>

and life
<02416>

[are] in the power
<03027>

of the tongue
<03956>_:

and they that love
<0157> (8802)

it shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof.

[Whoso] findeth
<04672> (8804)

a wife
<0802>

findeth
<04672> (8804)

a good
<02896>

[thing], and obtaineth
<06329> (8686)

favour
<07522>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

The poor
<07326> (8802)

useth
<01696> (8762)

intreaties
<08469>_;

but the rich
<06223>

answereth
<06030> (8799)

roughly
<05794>_.

A man
<0376>

[that hath] friends
<07453>

must shew himself friendly
<07489> (8710)_:

and there is
<03426>

a friend
<0157> (8802)

[that] sticketh closer
<01695>

than a brother
<0251>_.

Better
<02896>

[is] the poor
<07326> (8802)

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

in his integrity
<08537>_,

than [he that is] perverse
<06141>

in his lips
<08193>_,

and is a fool
<03684>_.

Also, [that] the soul
<05315>

[be] without knowledge
<01847>_,

[it is] not good
<02896>_;

and he that hasteth
<0213> (8801)

with [his] feet
<07272>

sinneth
<02398> (8802)_.

The foolishness
<0200>

of man
<0120>

perverteth
<05557> (8762)

his way
<01870>_:

and his heart
<03820>

fretteth
<02196> (8799)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

Wealth
<01952>

maketh
<03254> (8686)

many
<07227>

friends
<07453>_;

but the poor
<01800>

is separated
<06504> (8735)

from his neighbour
<07453>_.

A false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,

and [he that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>

shall not escape
<04422> (8735)_.

{unpunished: Heb. held innocent}

Many
<07227>

will intreat
<02470> (8762)

the favour
<06440>

of the prince
<05081>_:

and every man [is] a friend
<07453>

to him
<0376>

that giveth gifts
<04976>_.

{him...: Heb. a man of gifts}

All the brethren
<0251>

of the poor
<07326> (8802)

do hate
<08130> (8804)

him: how much more do his friends
<04828>

go far
<07368> (8804)

from him? he pursueth
<07291> (8764)

[them with] words
<0561>_,

[yet] they [are] wanting [to him].

He that getteth
<07069> (8802)

wisdom
<03820>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

he that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

understanding
<08394>

shall find
<04672> (8800)

good
<02896>_.

{wisdom: Heb. an heart}

A false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,

and [he that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

Delight
<08588>

is not seemly
<05000>

for a fool
<03684>_;

much less for a servant
<05650>

to have rule
<04910> (8800)

over princes
<08269>_.

The discretion
<07922>

of a man
<0120>

deferreth
<0748> (8689)

his anger
<0639>_;

and [it is] his glory
<08597>

to pass over
<05674> (8800)

a transgression
<06588>_.

{discretion: or, prudence}

The king's
<04428>

wrath
<02197>

[is] as the roaring
<05099>

of a lion
<03715>_;

but his favour
<07522>

[is] as dew
<02919>

upon the grass
<06212>_.

A foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] the calamity
<01942>

of his father
<01>_:

and the contentions
<04079>

of a wife
<0802>

[are] a continual
<02956> (8802)

dropping
<01812>_.

House
<01004>

and riches
<01952>

[are] the inheritance
<05159>

of fathers
<01>_:

and a prudent
<07919> (8688)

wife
<0802>

[is] from the LORD
<03068>_.

Slothfulness
<06103>

casteth
<05307> (8686)

into a deep sleep
<08639>_;

and an idle
<07423>

soul
<05315>

shall suffer hunger
<07456> (8799)_.

He that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the commandment
<04687>

keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_;

[but] he that despiseth
<0959> (8802)

his ways
<01870>

shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

He that hath pity
<02603> (8802)

upon the poor
<01800>

lendeth
<03867> (8688)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and that which he hath given
<01576>

will he pay him again
<07999> (8762)_.

{that which...: or, his deed}

Chasten
<03256> (8761)

thy son
<01121>

while there is
<03426>

hope
<08615>_,

and let not thy soul
<05315>

spare
<05375> (8799)

for his crying
<04191> (8687)_.

{for...: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die}

A man
<01419>

of great
<01632>

wrath
<02534>

shall suffer
<05375> (8802)

punishment
<06066>_:

for if thou deliver
<05337> (8686)

[him], yet thou must do it again
<03254> (8686)_.

{do: Heb. add}

Hear
<08085> (8798)

counsel
<06098>_,

and receive
<06901> (8761)

instruction
<04148>_,

that thou mayest be wise
<02449> (8799)

in thy latter end
<0319>_.

[There are] many
<07227>

devices
<04284>

in a man's
<0376>

heart
<03820>_;

nevertheless the counsel
<06098>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that shall stand
<06965> (8799)_.

The desire
<08378>

of a man
<0120>

[is] his kindness
<02617>_:

and a poor man
<07326> (8802)

[is] better
<02896>

than
<0376>

a liar
<03577>_.

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

and [he that hath it] shall abide
<03885> (8799)

satisfied
<07649>_;

he shall not be visited
<06485> (8735)

with evil
<07451>_.

A slothful
<06102>

[man] hideth
<02934> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

in [his] bosom
<06747>_,

and will not so much as bring
<07725> (0)

it to his mouth
<06310>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

Smite
<05221> (8686)

a scorner
<03887> (8801)_,

and the simple
<06612>

will beware
<06191> (8686)_:

and reprove
<03198> (8689)

one that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)_,

[and] he will understand
<0995> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_.

{will beware: Heb. will be cunning}

He that wasteth
<07703> (8764)

[his] father
<01>_,

[and] chaseth away
<01272> (8686)

[his] mother
<0517>_,

[is] a son
<01121>

that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_,

and bringeth reproach
<02659> (8688)_.

Cease
<02308> (8798)_,

my son
<01121>_,

to hear
<08085> (8800)

the instruction
<04148>

[that causeth] to err
<07686> (8800)

from the words
<0561>

of knowledge
<01847>_.

An ungodly
<01100>

witness
<05707>

scorneth
<03887> (8686)

judgment
<04941>_:

and the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

devoureth
<01104> (8762)

iniquity
<0205>_.

{An...: Heb. A witness of Belial}

Judgments
<08201>

are prepared
<03559> (8738)

for scorners
<03887> (8801)_,

and stripes
<04112>

for the back
<01460>

of fools
<03684>_.

Wine
<03196>

[is] a mocker
<03887> (8801)_,

strong drink
<07941>

[is] raging
<01993> (8802)_:

and whosoever is deceived
<07686> (8802)

thereby is not wise
<02449> (8799)_.

The fear
<0367>

of a king
<04428>

[is] as the roaring
<05099>

of a lion
<03715>_:

[whoso] provoketh him to anger
<05674> (8693)

sinneth
<02398> (8802)

[against] his own soul
<05315>_.

[It is] an honour
<03519>

for a man
<0376>

to cease
<07674>

from strife
<07379>_:

but every fool
<0191>

will be meddling
<01566> (8691)_.

The sluggard
<06102>

will not plow
<02790> (8799)

by reason of the cold
<02779>_;

[therefore] shall he beg
<07592> (8804) (8675) <07592> (8799)

in harvest
<07105>_,

and [have] nothing. {cold: or, winter}

Counsel
<06098>

in the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

[is like] deep
<06013>

water
<04325>_;

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

will draw it out
<01802> (8799)_.

Most
<07230>

men
<0120>

will proclaim
<07121> (8799)

every one
<0376>

his own goodness
<02617>_:

but a faithful
<0529>

man
<0376>

who can find
<04672> (8799)_?

{goodness: or, bounty}

The just
<06662>

[man] walketh
<01980> (8693)

in his integrity
<08537>_:

his children
<01121>

[are] blessed
<0835>

after
<0310>

him.

A king
<04428>

that sitteth in
<03427> (8802)

the throne
<03678>

of judgment
<01779>

scattereth away
<02219> (8764)

all evil
<07451>

with his eyes
<05869>_.

Who can say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have made my heart
<03820>

clean
<02135> (8765)_,

I am pure
<02891> (8804)

from my sin
<02403>_?

Divers weights
<068> <068>_,

[and] divers measures
<0374> <0374>_,

both
<08147>

of them [are] alike
<01571>

abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_.

{Divers weights: Heb. A stone and a stone} {divers measures: Heb. an ephah and an ephah}

Even a child
<05288>

is known
<05234> (8691)

by his doings
<04611>_,

whether his work
<06467>

[be] pure
<02134>_,

and whether [it be] right
<03477>_.

The hearing
<08085> (8802)

ear
<0241>_,

and the seeing
<07200> (8802)

eye
<05869>_,

the LORD
<03068>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

even both
<08147>

of them.

Love
<0157> (8799)

not sleep
<08142>_,

lest thou come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_;

open
<06491> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>_,

[and] thou shalt be satisfied
<07646> (8798)

with bread
<03899>_.

[It is] naught
<07451>_,

[it is] naught
<07451>_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

the buyer
<07069> (8802)_:

but when he is gone
<0235> (8801)

his way, then he boasteth
<01984> (8691)_.

There is
<03426>

gold
<02091>_,

and a multitude
<07230>

of rubies
<06443>_:

but the lips
<08193>

of knowledge
<01847>

[are] a precious
<03366>

jewel
<03627>_.

Take
<03947> (8798)

his garment
<0899>

that is surety
<06148> (8804)

[for] a stranger
<02114> (8801)_:

and take a pledge
<02254> (8798)

of him for a strange woman
<05237>_.

Bread
<03899>

of deceit
<08267>

[is] sweet
<06156>

to a man
<0376>_;

but afterwards
<0310>

his mouth
<06310>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with gravel
<02687>_.

{deceit: Heb. lying, or, falsehood}

[Every] purpose
<04284>

is established
<03559> (8735)

by counsel
<06098>_:

and with good advice
<08458>

make
<06213> (8798)

war
<04421>_.

He that goeth about
<01980> (8802)

[as] a talebearer
<07400>

revealeth
<01540> (8802)

secrets
<05475>_:

therefore meddle
<06148> (8691)

not with him that flattereth
<06601> (8802)

with his lips
<08193>_.

{flattereth: or, enticeth}

Whoso curseth
<07043> (8764)

his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>_,

his lamp
<05216>

shall be put out
<01846> (8799)

in obscure
<0380> (8676) <0380>

darkness
<02822>_.

{lamp: or, candle}

An inheritance
<05159>

[may be] gotten hastily
<0926> (8794) (8675) <0973> (8794)

at the beginning
<07223>_;

but the end
<0319>

thereof shall not be blessed
<01288> (8792)_.

Say
<0559> (8799)

not thou, I will recompense
<07999> (8762)

evil
<07451>_;

[but] wait on
<06960> (8761)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and he shall save
<03467> (8686)

thee.

Divers weights
<068> <068>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and a false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] not good
<02896>_.

{a false...: Heb. balance of deceit}

Man's
<01397>

goings
<04703>

[are] of the LORD
<03068>_;

how can a man
<0120>

then understand
<0995> (8799)

his own way
<01870>_?

[It is] a snare
<04170>

to the man
<0120>

[who] devoureth
<03216> (8804)

[that which is] holy
<06944>_,

and after
<0310>

vows
<05088>

to make enquiry
<01239> (8763)_.

A wise
<02450>

king
<04428>

scattereth
<02219> (8764)

the wicked
<07563>_,

and bringeth
<07725> (8686)

the wheel
<0212>

over them.

The spirit
<05397>

of man
<0120>

[is] the candle
<05216>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

searching
<02664> (8802)

all the inward parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{candle: or, lamp}

Mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

preserve
<05341> (8799)

the king
<04428>_:

and his throne
<03678>

is upholden
<05582> (8804)

by mercy
<02617>_.

The glory
<08597>

of young men
<0970>

[is] their strength
<03581>_:

and the beauty
<01926>

of old men
<02205>

[is] the gray head
<07872>_.

The blueness
<02250>

of a wound
<06482>

cleanseth
<08562>

away evil
<07451>_:

so [do] stripes
<04347>

the inward parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{cleanseth...: Heb. is a purging medicine against}

The king's
<04428>

heart
<03820>

[is] in the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[as] the rivers
<06388>

of water
<04325>_:

he turneth
<05186> (8686)

it whithersoever he will
<02654> (8799)_.

Every way
<01870>

of a man
<0376>

[is] right
<03477>

in his own eyes
<05869>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

pondereth
<08505> (8802)

the hearts
<03826>_.

To do
<06213> (8800)

justice
<06666>

and judgment
<04941>

[is] more acceptable
<0977> (8737)

to the LORD
<03068>

than sacrifice
<02077>_.

An high
<07312>

look
<05869>_,

and a proud
<07342>

heart
<03820>_,

[and] the plowing
<05215>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

[is] sin
<02403>_.

{An...: Heb. Haughtiness of eyes} {the plowing: or, the light}

The thoughts
<04284>

of the diligent
<02742>

[tend] only to plenteousness
<04195>_;

but of every one [that is] hasty
<0213> (8801)

only to want
<04270>_.

The getting
<06467>

of treasures
<0214>

by a lying
<08267>

tongue
<03956>

[is] a vanity
<01892>

tossed to and fro of
<05086> (8737)

them that seek
<01245> (8764)

death
<04194>_.

The robbery
<07701>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall destroy
<01641> (8799)

them; because they refuse
<03985> (8765)

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_.

{destroy...: Heb. saw them, or, dwell with them}

The way
<01870>

of man
<0376>

[is] froward
<02019>

and strange
<02054>_:

but [as for] the pure
<02134>_,

his work
<06467>

[is] right
<03477>_.

[It is] better
<02896>

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in a corner
<06438>

of the housetop
<01406>_,

than with a brawling
<04079> (8675) <04066>

woman
<0802>

in a wide
<02267>

house
<01004>_.

{a brawling...: Heb. a woman of contentions} {a wide...: Heb. an house of society}

The soul
<05315>

of the wicked
<07563>

desireth
<0183> (8765)

evil
<07451>_:

his neighbour
<07453>

findeth no favour
<02603> (8717)

in his eyes
<05869>_.

{findeth...: Heb. is not favoured}

When the scorner
<03887> (8801)

is punished
<06064> (8800)_,

the simple
<06612>

is made wise
<02449> (8799)_:

and when the wise
<02450>

is instructed
<07919> (8687)_,

he receiveth
<03947> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_.

The righteous
<06662>

[man] wisely considereth
<07919> (8688)

the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

[but God] overthroweth
<05557> (8764)

the wicked
<07563>

for [their] wickedness
<07451>_.

Whoso stoppeth
<0331> (8801)

his ears
<0241>

at the cry
<02201>

of the poor
<01800>_,

he also shall cry
<07121> (8799)

himself, but shall not be heard
<06030> (8735)_.

A gift
<04976>

in secret
<05643>

pacifieth
<03711> (8799)

anger
<0639>_:

and a reward
<07810>

in the bosom
<02436>

strong
<05794>

wrath
<02534>_.

[It is] joy
<08057>

to the just
<06662>

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_:

but destruction
<04288>

[shall be] to the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_.

The man
<0120>

that wandereth
<08582> (8802)

out of the way
<01870>

of understanding
<07919> (8687)

shall remain
<05117> (8799)

in the congregation
<06951>

of the dead
<07496>_.

He that loveth
<0157> (8802)

pleasure
<08057>

[shall be] a poor
<04270>

man
<0376>_:

he that loveth
<0157> (8802)

wine
<03196>

and oil
<08081>

shall not be rich
<06238> (8686)_.

{pleasure: or, sport}

The wicked
<07563>

[shall be] a ransom
<03724>

for the righteous
<06662>_,

and the transgressor
<0898> (8802)

for the upright
<03477>_.

[It is] better
<02896>

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in the wilderness
<0776> <04057>_,

than with a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>

and an angry
<03708>

woman
<0802>_.

{in...: Heb. in the land of the desert}

[There is] treasure
<0214>

to be desired
<02530> (8737)

and oil
<08081>

in the dwelling
<05116>

of the wise
<02450>_;

but a foolish
<03684>

man
<0120>

spendeth it up
<01104> (8762)_.

He that followeth
<07291> (8802)

after righteousness
<06666>

and mercy
<02617>

findeth
<04672> (8799)

life
<02416>_,

righteousness
<06666>_,

and honour
<03519>_.

A wise
<02450>

[man] scaleth
<05927> (8804)

the city
<05892>

of the mighty
<01368>_,

and casteth down
<03381> (8686)

the strength
<05797>

of the confidence
<04009>

thereof.

Whoso keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his mouth
<06310>

and his tongue
<03956>

keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his soul
<05315>

from troubles
<06869>_.

Proud
<02086>

[and] haughty
<03093>

scorner
<03887> (8801)

[is] his name
<08034>_,

who dealeth
<06213> (8802)

in proud
<02087>

wrath
<05678>_.

{in proud...: Heb. in the wrath of pride}

The desire
<08378>

of the slothful
<06102>

killeth
<04191> (8686)

him; for his hands
<03027>

refuse
<03985> (8765)

to labour
<06213> (8800)_.

He coveteth
<0183> (8694)

greedily
<08378>

all the day
<03117>

long: but the righteous
<06662>

giveth
<05414> (8799)

and spareth
<02820> (8799)

not.

The sacrifice
<02077>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] abomination
<08441>_:

how much more, [when] he bringeth
<0935> (8686)

it with a wicked mind
<02154>_?

{with...: Heb. in wickedness?}

A false
<03577>

witness
<05707>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_:

but the man
<0376>

that heareth
<08085> (8802)

speaketh
<01696> (8762)

constantly
<05331>_.

{A...: Heb. A witness of lies}

A wicked
<07563>

man
<0376>

hardeneth
<05810> (8689)

his face
<06440>_:

but [as for] the upright
<03477>_,

he directeth
<0995> (8799) (8675) <03559> (8686)

his way
<01870>_.

{directeth: or, considereth}

[There is] no wisdom
<02451>

nor understanding
<08394>

nor counsel
<06098>

against the LORD
<03068>_.

The horse
<05483>

[is] prepared
<03559> (8716)

against the day
<03117>

of battle
<04421>_:

but safety
<08668>

[is] of the LORD
<03068>_.

{safety: or, victory}

A [good] name
<08034>

[is] rather to be chosen
<0977> (8737)

than great
<07227>

riches
<06239>_,

[and] loving
<02896>

favour
<02580>

rather than silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_.

{loving...: or, favour is better than, etc}

The rich
<06223>

and poor
<07326> (8802)

meet together
<06298> (8738)_:

the LORD
<03068>

[is] the maker
<06213> (8802)

of them all.

A prudent
<06175>

[man] foreseeth
<07200> (8804)

the evil
<07451>_,

and hideth
<05641> (8738) (8675) <05641> (8799)

himself: but the simple
<06612>

pass on
<05674> (8804)_,

and are punished
<06064> (8738)_.

By
<06118>

humility
<06038>

[and] the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[are] riches
<06239>_,

and honour
<03519>_,

and life
<02416>_.

{By...: or, The reward of humility, etc}

Thorns
<06791>

[and] snares
<06341>

[are] in the way
<01870>
