[1]He that loveth instruction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is a fool.[2]A good man getteth favor of the Lord: but the man of wicked imaginations will he condemn.[3]A man cannot be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.[4]A virtuous woman is the crown of her husband: but she that maketh him ashamed , is as corruption in his bones.[5]The thoughts of the just are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.[6]The talking of the wicked is to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the righteous will deliver them.[7]God overthroweth the wicked, and they are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.[8]A man shall be commended for his wisdom: but the froward of heart shall be despised.[9]He that is despised, and is his own servant, is better than he that boasteth himself and lacketh bread.[10]A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruel.[11]He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of understanding.[12]The wicked desireth the net of evils: but the root of the righteous giveth fruit.[13]The evil man is snared by the wickedness of his lips, but the just shall come out of adversity.[14]A man shall be satiate with good things by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man's hands shall God give unto him.[15]The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that heareth counsel, is wise.[16]A fool in a day shall be known by his anger: but he that covereth shame, is wise.[17]He that speaketh truth, will show righteousness: but a false witness useth deceit.[18]There is that speaketh words like the prickings of a sword: but the tongue of wise men is health.[19]The lip of truth shall be stable forever: but a lying tongue varieth incontinently.[20]Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace shall be joy.[21]There shall none iniquity come to the just: but the wicked are full of evil.[22]The lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.[23]A wise man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of the fools publisheth foolishness.[24]The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the idle shall be under tribute.[25]Heaviness in the heart of man doth bring it down: but a good word rejoiceth it.[26]The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked will deceive them.[27]The deceitful man roasteth not, that he took in hunting: but the riches of the diligent man are precious.[28]Life is in the way of righteousness, and in that pathway there is no death.
