1
Every wiseH2454 womanH802 buildsH1129 her house:H1004 but the foolishH200 plucksH2040 it downH8045 with her hands.H3027
2
He that walksH1980 in his uprightnessH3476 fearsH3373 the LORD:H3068 but he that is perverseH3868 in his waysH1870 despisesH959 him.
3
In the mouthH6310 of the foolishH191 is a rodH2415 of pride:H1346 but the lipsH8193 of the wiseH2450 shall preserveH8104 them.
4
Where noH369 oxenH504 are, the cribH18 is clean:H1249 but muchH7230 increaseH8393 is by the strengthH3581 of the ox.H7794
5
A faithfulH529 witnessH5707 will not lie:H3576 but a falseH8267 witnessH5707 will utterH6315 lies.H3576
6
A scornerH3887 seeksH1245 wisdom,H2451 and finds it not: but knowledgeH1847 is easyH7043 to him that understands.H995
7
GoH3212 from the presenceH5048 of a foolishH3684 man,H376 when you perceiveH3045 not in him the lipsH8193 of knowledge.H1847
8
The wisdomH2451 of the prudentH6175 is to understandH995 his way:H1870 but the follyH200 of foolsH3684 is deceit.H4820
9
FoolsH191 make a mockH3887 at sin:H817 but amongH996 the righteousH3477 there is favor.H7522
10
The heartH3820 knowsH3045 his ownH5315 bitterness;H4751 and a strangerH2114 does not intermeddleH6148 with his joy.H8057
11
The houseH1004 of the wickedH7563 shall be overthrown:H8045 but the tabernacleH168 of the uprightH3477 shall flourish.H6524
12
There is a wayH1870 which seemsH6440 rightH3477 to a man,H376 but the endH319 thereof are the waysH1870 of death.H4194
13
EvenH1571 in laughterH7814 the heartH3820 is sorrowful;H3510 and the endH319 of that mirthH8057 is heaviness.H8424
14
The backsliderH5472 in heartH3820 shall be filledH7646 with his own ways:H1870 and a goodH2896 manH376 shall be satisfied from himself.
15
The simpleH6612 believesH539 everyH3605 word:H1697 but the prudentH6175 man looksH995 wellH995 to his going.H838
16
A wiseH2450 man fears,H3373 and departsH5493 from evil:H7451 but the foolH3684 rages,H5674 and is confident.H982
17
He that is soonH7116 angryH639 dealsH6213 foolishly:H200 and a manH376 of wickedH4209 devicesH4209 is hated.H8130
18
The simpleH6612 inheritH5157 folly:H200 but the prudentH6175 are crownedH3803 with knowledge.H1847
19
The evilH7451 bowH7817 beforeH6440 the good;H2896 and the wickedH7563 atH5921 the gatesH8179 of the righteous.H6662
20
The poorH7326 is hatedH8130 evenH1571 of his own neighbor:H7453 but the richH6223 has manyH7227 friends.H157
21
He that despisesH936 his neighborH7453 sins:H2398 but he that has mercyH2603 on the poor,H6035 H6041 happyH835 is he.
22
Do they not errH8582 that deviseH2790 evil?H7451 but mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall be to them that deviseH2790 good.H2896
23
In allH3605 laborH6089 there is profit:H4195 but the talkH1697 of the lipsH8193 tends onlyH389 to penury.H4270
24
The crownH5850 of the wiseH2450 is their riches:H6239 but the foolishnessH200 of foolsH3684 is folly.H200
25
A trueH571 witnessH5707 deliversH5337 souls:H5315 but a deceitfulH4820 witness speaksH6315 lies.H3576
26
In the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is strongH5797 confidence:H4009 and his childrenH1121 shall haveH1961 a place of refuge.H4268
27
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is a fountainH4726 of life,H2416 to departH5493 from the snaresH4170 of death.H4194
28
In the multitudeH7230 of peopleH5971 is the king'sH4428 honor:H1927 but in the wantH657 of peopleH3816 is the destructionH4288 of the prince.H7333
29
He that is slowH750 to wrathH639 is of greatH7227 understanding:H8394 but he that is hastyH7116 of spiritH7307 exaltsH7311 folly.H200
30
A soundH4832 heartH3820 is the lifeH2416 of the flesh:H1320 but envyH7068 the rottennessH7538 of the bones.H6106
31
He that oppressesH6231 the poorH1800 reproachesH2778 his Maker:H6213 but he that honorsH3513 him has mercyH2603 on the poor.H34
32
The wickedH7563 is drivenH1760 away in his wickedness:H7451 but the righteousH6662 has hopeH2620 in his death.H4194
33
WisdomH2451 restsH5117 in the heartH3820 of him that has understanding:H995 but that which is in the middleH7130 of foolsH3684 is made known.H3045
34
RighteousnessH6666 exaltsH7311 a nation:H1471 but sinH2403 is a reproachH2617 to any people.H3816
35
The king'sH4428 favorH7522 is toward a wiseH7919 servant:H5650 but his wrathH5678 is against him that causes shame.H954
