1 A soft 7390 answer 4617 turneth 7725 away wrath 2534: but grievous 6089 words 1697 stir up 5927 anger 639.
2 The tongue 3956 of the wise 2450 useth knowledge 1847 aright 3190: but the mouth 6310 of fools 3684 poureth out 5042 foolishness 200.
3 The eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 are in every place 4725, beholding 6822 the evil 7451 and the good 2896.
4 A wholesome 4832 tongue 3956 is a tree 6086 of life 2416: but perverseness 5558 therein is a breach 7667 in the spirit 7307.
5 A fool 191 despiseth 5006 his father's 1 instruction 4148: but he that regardeth 8104 reproof 8433 is prudent 6191.
6 In the house 1004 of the righteous 6662 is much 7227 treasure 2633: but in the revenues 8393 of the wicked 7563 is trouble 5916.
7 The lips 8193 of the wise 2450 disperse 2219 knowledge 1847: but the heart 3820 of the foolish 3684 doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice 2077 of the wicked 7563 is an abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068: but the prayer 8605 of the upright 3477 is his delight 7522.
9 The way 1870 of the wicked 7563 is an abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068: but he loveth 157 him that followeth 7291 after righteousness 6666.
10 Correction 4148 is grievous 7451 unto him that forsaketh 5800 the way 734: and he that hateth 8130 reproof 8433 shall die 4191.
11 Hell 7585 and destruction 11 are before the LORD 3068: how much more then the hearts 3826 of the children 1121 of men 120?
12 A scorner 3887 loveth 157 not one that reproveth 3198 him: neither will he go 3212 unto the wise 2450.
13 A merry 8056 heart 3820 maketh a cheerful 3190 countenance 6440: but by sorrow 6094 of the heart 3820 the spirit 7307 is broken 5218.
14 The heart 3820 of him that hath understanding 995 seeketh 1245 knowledge 1847: but the mouth 6310 6440 of fools 3684 feedeth 7462 on foolishness 200.
15 All the days 3117 of the afflicted 6041 are evil 7451: but he that is of a merry 2896 heart 3820 hath a continual 8548 feast 4960.
16 Better 2896 is little 4592 with the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 than great 7227 treasure 214 and trouble 4103 therewith.
17 Better 2896 is a dinner 737 of herbs 3419 where love 160 is, than a stalled 75 ox 7794 and hatred 8135 therewith.
18 A wrathful 2534 man 376 stirreth up 1624 strife 4066: but he that is slow 750 to anger 639 appeaseth 8252 strife 7379.
19 The way 1870 of the slothful 6102 man is as an hedge 4881 of thorns 2312: but the way 734 of the righteous 3477 is made plain 5549.
20 A wise 2450 son 1121 maketh a glad 8055 father 1: but a foolish 3684 man 120 despiseth 959 his mother 517.
21 Folly 200 is joy 8057 to him that is destitute 2638 of wisdom 3820: but a man 376 of understanding 8394 walketh 3212 uprightly 3474.
22 Without counsel 5475 purposes 4284 are disappointed 6565: but in the multitude 7230 of counsellors 3289 they are established 6965.
23 A man 376 hath joy 8057 by the answer 4617 of his mouth 6310: and a word 1697 spoken in due season 6256, how good 2896 is it!
24 The way 734 of life 2416 is above 4605 to the wise 7919, that he may depart 5493 from hell 7585 beneath 4295.
25 The LORD 3068 will destroy 5255 the house 1004 of the proud 1343: but he will establish 5324 the border 1366 of the widow 490.
26 The thoughts 4284 of the wicked 7451 are an abomination 8441 to the LORD 3068: but the words of the pure 2889 are pleasant 5278 words 561.
27 He that is greedy 1214 of gain 1215 troubleth 5916 his own house 1004; but he that hateth 8130 gifts 4979 shall live 2421.
28 The heart 3820 of the righteous 6662 studieth 1897 to answer 6030: but the mouth 6310 of the wicked 7563 poureth 5042 out evil things 7451.
29 The LORD 3068 is far 7350 from the wicked 7563: but he heareth 8085 the prayer 8605 of the righteous 6662.
30 The light 3974 of the eyes 5869 rejoiceth 8055 the heart 3820: and a good 2896 report 8052 maketh 1878 0 the bones 6106 fat 1878.
31 The ear 241 that heareth 8085 the reproof 8433 of life 2416 abideth 3885 among 7130 the wise 2450.
32 He that refuseth 6544 instruction 4148 despiseth 3988 his own soul 5315: but he that heareth 8085 reproof 8433 getteth 7069 understanding 3820.
33 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is the instruction 4148 of wisdom 2451; and before 6440 honour 3519 is humility 6038.
