BetterH2896 is the poorH7326 that walkethH1980 in his integrityH8537, than he that is perverseH6141 in his lipsH8193, and is a foolH3684.2Also, that the soulH5315 be without knowledgeH1847, it is not goodH2896; and he that hastethH213 with his feetH7272 sinnethH2398.3The foolishnessH200 of manH120 pervertethH5557 his wayH1870: and his heartH3820 frettethH2196 against the LORDH3068.4WealthH1952 makethH3254 manyH7227 friendsH7453; but the poorH1800 is separatedH6504 from his neighbourH7453.5A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunishedH5352, and he that speakethH6315 liesH3577 shall not escapeH4422.6ManyH7227 will intreatH2470 the favourH6440 of the princeH5081: and every man is a friendH7453 to himH376 that giveth giftsH4976.7All the brethrenH251 of the poorH7326 do hateH8130 him: how much more do his friendsH4828 go farH7368 from him? he pursuethH7291 them with wordsH561, yet they are wanting to him.8He that gettethH7069 wisdomH3820 lovethH157 his own soulH5315: he that keepethH8104 understandingH8394 shall findH4672 goodH2896.9A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunishedH5352, and he that speakethH6315 liesH3577 shall perishH6.10DelightH8588 is not seemlyH5000 for a foolH3684; much less for a servantH5650 to have ruleH4910 over princesH8269.11The discretionH7922 of a manH120 deferrethH748 his angerH639; and it is his gloryH8597 to pass overH5674 a transgressionH6588.12The king'sH4428 wrathH2197 is as the roaringH5099 of a lionH3715; but his favourH7522 is as dewH2919 upon the grassH6212.13A foolishH3684 sonH1121 is the calamityH1942 of his fatherH1: and the contentionsH4079 of a wifeH802 are a continualH2956 droppingH1812.14HouseH1004 and richesH1952 are the inheritanceH5159 of fathersH1: and a prudentH7919 wifeH802 is from the LORDH3068.15SlothfulnessH6103 castethH5307 into a deep sleepH8639; and an idleH7423 soulH5315 shall suffer hungerH7456.16He that keepethH8104 the commandmentH4687 keepethH8104 his own soulH5315; but he that despisethH959 his waysH1870 shall dieH4191.17He that hath pityH2603 upon the poorH1800 lendethH3867 unto the LORDH3068; and that which he hath givenH1576 will he pay him againH7999.18ChastenH3256 thy sonH1121 while there isH3426 hopeH8615, and let not thy soulH5315 spareH5375 for his cryingH4191.19A manH1419 of greatH1632 wrathH2534 shall sufferH5375 punishmentH6066: for if thou deliverH5337 him, yet thou must do it againH3254.20HearH8085 counselH6098, and receiveH6901 instructionH4148, that thou mayest be wiseH2449 in thy latter endH319.21There are manyH7227 devicesH4284 in a man'sH376 heartH3820; nevertheless the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that shall standH6965.22The desireH8378 of a manH120 is his kindnessH2617: and a poor manH7326 is betterH2896 thanH376 a liarH3577.23The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 tendeth to lifeH2416: and he that hath it shall abideH3885 satisfiedH7649; he shall not be visitedH6485 with evilH7451.24A slothfulH6102 man hidethH2934 his handH3027 in his bosomH6747, and will not so much as bringH7725 it to his mouthH6310 againH7725.25SmiteH5221 a scornerH3887, and the simpleH6612 will bewareH6191: and reproveH3198 one that hath understandingH995, and he will understandH995 knowledgeH1847.26He that wastethH7703 his fatherH1, and chaseth awayH1272 his motherH517, is a sonH1121 that causeth shameH954, and bringeth reproachH2659.27CeaseH2308, my sonH1121, to hearH8085 the instructionH4148 that causeth to errH7686 from the wordsH561 of knowledgeH1847.28An ungodlyH1100 witnessH5707 scornethH3887 judgmentH4941: and the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 iniquityH205.29JudgmentsH8201 are preparedH3559 for scornersH3887, and stripesH4112 for the backH1460 of foolsH3684.
