The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000.

1 |
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge:
|
but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
|
|
2 |
A good man obtaineth favor of the LORD:
|
but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. |
|
|
3 |
A man shall not be established by wickedness:
|
but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. |
|
|
4 |
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband:
|
but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. |
|
|
5 |
The thoughts of the righteous are right:
|
but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. |
|
|
6 |
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:
|
but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. |
|
|
7 |
The wicked are overthrown, and are not:
|
but the house of the righteous shall stand. |
|
|
8 |
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom:
|
but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. |
|
|
9 |
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better
|
than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread. |
|
|
10 |
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast:
|
but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. |
|
|
11 |
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread:
|
but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. |
|
|
12 |
The wicked desireth the net of evil men:
|
but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. |
|
|
13 |
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips:
|
but the just shall come out of trouble. |
|
|
14 |
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth:
|
and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him. |
|
|
15 |
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes:
|
but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. |
|
|
16 |
A fool’s wrath is presently known:
|
but a prudent man covereth shame. |
|
|
17 |
He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness:
|
but a false witness deceit. |
|
|
18 |
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:
|
but the tongue of the wise is health. |
|
|
19 |
The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
|
but a lying tongue is but for a moment. |
|
|
20 |
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil:
|
but to the counselors of peace is joy. |
|
|
21 |
There shall no evil happen to the just:
|
but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. |
|
|
22 |
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD:
|
but they that deal truly are his delight. |
|
|
23 |
A prudent man concealeth knowledge:
|
but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. |
|
|
24 |
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
|
but the slothful shall be under tribute. |
|
|
25 |
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:
|
but a good word maketh it glad. |
|
|
26 |
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor:
|
but the way of the wicked seduceth them. |
|
|
27 |
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting:
|
but the substance of a diligent man is precious. |
|
|
28 |
In the way of righteousness is life;
|
and in the pathway thereof there is no death. |
