1 Whoso loveth 157 instruction 4148 loveth 157 knowledge 1847: but he that hateth 8130 reproof 8433 is brutish 1198.
2 A good 2896 man obtaineth 6329 favour 7522 of the LORD 3068: but a man 376 of wicked devices 4209 will he condemn 7561.
3 A man 120 shall not be established 3559 by wickedness 7562: but the root 8328 of the righteous 6662 shall not be moved 4131.
4 A virtuous 2428 woman 802 is a crown 5850 to her husband 1167: but she that maketh ashamed 954 is as rottenness 7538 in his bones 6106.
5 The thoughts 4284 of the righteous 6662 are right 4941: but the counsels 8458 of the wicked 7563 are deceit 4820.
6 The words 1697 of the wicked 7563 are to lie in wait 693 for blood 1818: but the mouth 6310 of the upright 3477 shall deliver 5337 them.
7 The wicked 7563 are overthrown 2015, and are not: but the house 1004 of the righteous 6662 shall stand 5975.
8 A man 376 shall be commended 1984 according 6310 to his wisdom 7922: but he that is of a perverse 5753 heart 3820 shall be despised 937.
9 He that is despised 7034, and hath a servant 5650, is better 2896 than he that honoureth 3513 himself, and lacketh 2638 bread 3899.
10 A righteous 6662 man regardeth 3045 the life 5315 of his beast 929: but the tender mercies 7356 of the wicked 7563 are cruel 394.
11 He that tilleth 5647 his land 127 shall be satisfied 7646 with bread 3899: but he that followeth 7291 vain 7386 persons is void 2638 of understanding 3820.
12 The wicked 7563 desireth 2530 the net 4685 of evil 7451 men: but the root 8328 of the righteous 6662 yieldeth 5414 fruit.
13 The wicked 7451 is snared 4170 by the transgression 6588 of his lips 8193: but the just 6662 shall come out 3318 of trouble 6869.
14 A man 376 shall be satisfied 7646 with good 2896 by the fruit 6529 of his mouth 6310: and the recompence 1576 of a man's 120 hands 3027 shall be rendered 7725 7725 unto him.
15 The way 1870 of a fool 191 is right 3477 in his own eyes 5869: but he that hearkeneth 8085 unto counsel 6098 is wise 2450.
16 A fool's 191 wrath 3708 is presently 3117 known 3045: but a prudent 6175 man covereth 3680 shame 7036.
17 He that speaketh 6315 truth 530 sheweth forth 5046 righteousness 6664: but a false 8267 witness 5707 deceit 4820.
18 There is 3426 that speaketh 981 like the piercings 4094 of a sword 2719: but the tongue 3956 of the wise 2450 is health 4832.
19 The lip 8193 of truth 571 shall be established 3559 for ever 5703: but a lying 8267 tongue 3956 is but for a moment 7280.
20 Deceit 4820 is in the heart 3820 of them that imagine 2790 evil 7451: but to the counsellors 3289 of peace 7965 is joy 8057.
21 There shall no evil 205 happen 579 to the just 6662: but the wicked 7563 shall be filled 4390 with mischief 7451.
22 Lying 8267 lips 8193 are abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068: but they that deal 6213 truly 530 are his delight 7522.
23 A prudent 6175 man 120 concealeth 3680 knowledge 1847: but the heart 3820 of fools 3684 proclaimeth 7121 foolishness 200.
24 The hand 3027 of the diligent 2742 shall bear rule 4910: but the slothful 7423 shall be under tribute 4522.
25 Heaviness 1674 in the heart 3820 of man 376 maketh it stoop 7812: but a good 2896 word 1697 maketh it glad 8055.
26 The righteous 6662 is more excellent 8446 than his neighbour 7453: but the way 1870 of the wicked 7563 seduceth 8582 them.
27 The slothful 7423 man roasteth 2760 not that which he took in hunting 6718: but the substance 1952 of a diligent 2742 man 120 is precious 3368.
28 In the way 734 of righteousness 6666 is life 2416; and in the pathway 5410 1870 thereof there is no death 4194.
