[1]  Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he that hateth reproof is brutish.

[1]  ---

[2]  A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah; But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

[2]  ---

[3]  A man shall not be established by wickedness; But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

[3]  ---

[4]  A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

[4]  ---

[5]  The thoughts of the righteous are just; Butthe counsels of the wicked are deceit.

[5]  ---

[6]  The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood; But the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

[6]  ---

[7]  The wicked are overthrown, and are not; But the house of the righteous shall stand.

[7]  ---

[8]  A man shall be commended according to his wisdom; But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

[8]  ---

[9]  Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.

[9]  ---

[10]  A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

[10]  ---

[11]  He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.

[11]  ---

[12]  The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

[12]  ---

[13]  In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

[13]  ---

[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.

[14]  ---

[15]  The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

[15]  ---

[16]  A fool’s vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

[16]  ---

[17]  He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness; But a false witness, deceit.

[17]  ---

[18]  There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.

[18]  ---

[19]  The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.

[19]  ---

[20]  Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; But to the counsellors of peace is joy.

[20]  ---

[21]  There shall no mischief happen to the righteous; But the wicked shall be filled with evil.

[21]  ---

[22]  Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; But they that deal truly are his delight.

[22]  ---

[23]  A prudent man concealeth knowledge; But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

[23]  ---

[24]  The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

[24]  ---

[25]  Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.

[25]  ---

[26]  The righteous is a guide to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked causeth them to err.

[26]  ---

[27]  The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of menis tothe diligent.

[27]  ---

[28]  In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
