Whoso lovethinstructionlovethknowledge: but he that hatethreproof is brutish. A good man obtainethfavorof the LORD: but a manof wicked deviceswill he condemn. A manshall notbe establishedby wickedness: but the rootof the righteousshall notbe moved. A virtuouswoman is a crownto her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottennessin his bones. The thoughtsof the righteous are right: but the counselsof the wicked are deceit. The wordsof the wicked are to lie in waitfor blood: but the mouthof the uprightshall deliverthem. The wickedare overthrown, and are not: but the houseof the righteousshall stand. A manshall be commendedaccordingto his wisdom: but he that is of a perverseheartshall bedespised. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is betterthan he that honoreth himself, and lackethbread. A righteous man regardeththe lifeof his beast: but the tender merciesof the wicked are cruel. He that tillethhis landshall be satisfiedwith bread: but he that followethvain persons is voidof understanding. The wickeddesireththe netof evil men : but the rootof the righteousyieldeth fruit . The wickedis snaredby the transgressionof his lips: but the justshall come outof trouble. A manshall be satisfiedwith goodby the fruitof his mouth: and the recompenseof a man's handsshall be renderedunto him. The wayof a fool is rightin his own eyes: but he that hearkenethunto counsel is wise. A fool's wrathis presentlyknown: but a prudent man coverethshame. He that speakethtruthshoweth forthrighteousness: but a falsewitnessdeceit. There isthat speakethlike the piercingsof a sword: but the tongueof the wise is health. The lipof truthshall be establishedforever: buta lyingtongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heartof them that imagineevil: but to the counselorsof peace is joy. There shall noevilhappento the just: but the wickedshall be filledwith mischief. Lyinglips are abominationto the LORD: but they that dealtruly are his delight. A prudentmanconcealethknowledge: but the heartof foolsproclaimethfoolishness. The handof the diligentshall bear rule: but the slothfulshall beunder tribute. Heavinessin the heartof manmaketh it stoop: but a goodwordmaketh it glad. The righteous is more excellentthan his neighbor: but the wayof the wickedseduceththem. The slothful man roastethnotthat which he took in hunting: but the substanceof a diligentman is precious. In the wayof righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is nodeath.
