1 A wise 2450 son 1121 heareth his father's 1 instruction 4148: but a scorner 3887 heareth 8085 not rebuke 1606.
2 A man 376 shall eat 398 good 2896 by the fruit 6529 of his mouth 6310: but the soul 5315 of the transgressors 898 shall eat violence 2555.
3 He that keepeth 5341 his mouth 6310 keepeth 8104 his life 5315: but he that openeth wide 6589 his lips 8193 shall have destruction 4288.
4 The soul 5315 of the sluggard 6102 desireth 183, and hath nothing: but the soul 5315 of the diligent 2742 shall be made fat 1878.
5 A righteous 6662 man hateth 8130 lying 1697 8267: but a wicked 7563 man is loathsome 887, and cometh to shame 2659.
6 Righteousness 6666 keepeth 5341 him that is upright 8537 in the way 1870: but wickedness 7564 overthroweth 5557 the sinner 2403.
7 There is 3426 that maketh himself rich 6238, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor 7326, yet 3605 hath great 7227 riches 1952.
8 The ransom 3724 of a man's 376 life 5315 are his riches 6239: but the poor 7326 heareth 8085 not rebuke 1606.
9 The light 216 of the righteous 6662 rejoiceth 8055: but the lamp 5216 of the wicked 7563 shall be put out 1846.
10 Only by pride 2087 cometh 5414 contention 4683: but with the well advised 3289 is wisdom 2451.
11 Wealth 1952 gotten by vanity 1892 shall be diminished 4591: but he that gathereth 6908 by labour 3027 shall increase 7235.
12 Hope 8431 deferred 4900 maketh the heart 3820 sick 2470: but when the desire 8378 cometh 935, it is a tree 6086 of life 2416.
13 Whoso despiseth 936 the word 1697 shall be destroyed 2254: but he that feareth 3373 the commandment 4687 shall be rewarded 7999.
14 The law 8451 of the wise 2450 is a fountain 4726 of life 2416, to depart 5493 from the snares 4170 of death 4194.
15 Good 2896 understanding 7922 giveth 5414 favour 2580: but the way 1870 of transgressors 898 is hard 386.

17 A wicked 7563 messenger 4397 falleth 5307 into mischief 7451: but a faithful 529 ambassador 6735 is health 4832.
18 Poverty 7389 and shame 7036 shall be to him that refuseth 6544 instruction 4148: but he that regardeth 8104 reproof 8433 shall be honoured 3513.
19 The desire 8378 accomplished 1961 is sweet 6149 to the soul 5315: but it is abomination 8441 to fools 3684 to depart 5493 from evil 7451.
20 He that walketh 1980 with wise 2450 men shall be wise 2449: but a companion 7462 of fools 3684 shall be destroyed 7321.

22 A good 2896 man leaveth an inheritance 5157 to his children's 1121 children 1121: and the wealth 2428 of the sinner 2398 is laid up 6845 for the just 6662.
23 Much 7230 food 400 is in the tillage 5215 of the poor 7218 7326: but there is 3426 that is destroyed 5595 for want 3808 of judgment 4941.
24 He that spareth 2820 his rod 7626 hateth 8130 his son 1121: but he that loveth 157 him chasteneth 4148 him betimes 7836.
25 The righteous 6662 eateth 398 to the satisfying 7648 of his soul 5315: but the belly 990 of the wicked 7563 shall want 2637.
