[1]Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.[2]A good man shall obtain favour of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.[3]A man shall not established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.[4]A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully 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 h intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.[9]Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, 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 ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.[12]The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.[13]In transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.[14]A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.[15]The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.[16]A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.[17]He the breatheth forth truth uttereth 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 devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.[21]There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.[22]Lying lips are an abomination to 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; 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]Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.[26]The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.[27]The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.[28]In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathwa thereof there is no death.
