1 A wise H2450 son H1121 heareth his father's H1 instruction: H4148 but a scorner H3887 heareth H8085 not H3808 rebuke. H1606
2 A man H376 shall eat H398 good H2896 by the fruit H4480 H6529 of his mouth: H6310 but the soul H5315 of the transgressors H898 shall eat violence. H2555
3 He that keepeth H5341 his mouth H6310 keepeth H8104 his life: H5315 but he that openeth wide H6589 his lips H8193 shall have destruction. H4288
4 The soul H5315 of the sluggard H6102 desireth, H183 and hath nothing: H369 but the soul H5315 of the diligent H2742 shall be made fat. H1878
5 A righteous H6662 man hateth H8130 lying H1697 H8267 : but a wicked H7563 man is loathsome, H887 and cometh to shame. H2659
6 Righteousness H6666 keepeth H5341 him that is upright H8537 in the way: H1870 but wickedness H7564 overthroweth H5557 the sinner. H2403
7 There is H3426 that maketh himself rich, H6238 yet hath nothing H369 H3605 : there is that maketh himself poor, H7326 yet hath great H7227 riches. H1952
8 The ransom H3724 of a man's H376 life H5315 are his riches: H6239 but the poor H7326 heareth H8085 not H3808 rebuke. H1606
9 The light H216 of the righteous H6662 rejoiceth: H8055 but the lamp H5216 of the wicked H7563 shall be put out. H1846
10 Only H7535 by pride H2087 cometh H5414 contention: H4683 but with H854 the well advised H3289 is wisdom. H2451
11 Wealth H1952 gotten by vanity H4480 H1892 shall be diminished: H4591 but he that gathereth H6908 by H5921 labor H3027 shall increase. H7235
12 Hope H8431 deferred H4900 maketh the heart H3820 sick: H2470 but when the desire H8378 cometh, H935 it is a tree H6086 of life. H2416
13 Whoso despiseth H936 the word H1697 shall be destroyed: H2254 but he H1931 that feareth H3373 the commandment H4687 shall be rewarded. H7999
14 The law H8451 of the wise H2450 is a fountain H4726 of life, H2416 to depart H5493 from the snares H4480 H4170 of death. H4194
15 Good H2896 understanding H7922 giveth H5414 favor: H2580 but the way H1870 of transgressors H898 is hard. H386
16 Every H3605 prudent H6175 man dealeth H6213 with knowledge: H1847 but a fool H3684 layeth open H6566 his folly. H200
17 A wicked H7563 messenger H4397 falleth H5307 into mischief: H7451 but a faithful H529 ambassador H6735 is health. H4832
18 Poverty H7389 and shame H7036 shall be to him that refuseth H6544 instruction: H4148 but he that regardeth H8104 reproof H8433 shall be honored. H3513
19 The desire H8378 accomplished H1961 is sweet H6149 to the soul: H5315 but it is abomination H8441 to fools H3684 to depart H5493 from evil H4480 H7451 .
20 He that walketh H1980 with H854 wise H2450 men shall be wise: H2449 but a companion H7462 of fools H3684 shall be destroyed. H7321
21 Evil H7451 pursueth H7291 sinners: H2400 but to the righteous H6662 good H2896 shall be repaid. H7999
22 A good H2896 man leaveth an inheritance H5157 to his children's H1121 children: H1121 and the wealth H2428 of the sinner H2398 is laid up H6845 for the just. H6662
23 Much H7230 food H400 is in the tillage H5215 of the poor: H7326 but there is H3426 that is destroyed H5595 for want H3808 of judgment. H4941
24 He that spareth H2820 his rod H7626 hateth H8130 his son: H1121 but he that loveth H157 him chasteneth H4148 him quickly. H7836
25 The righteous H6662 eateth H398 to the satisfying H7648 of his soul: H5315 but the belly H990 of the wicked H7563 shall want. H2637
