1
Whoso
loveth
instruction
loveth
knowledge:
but
he
that
hateth
reproof
[is]
brutish.
2
A
good
[man]
obtaineth
favour
of
the
LORD:
but
a
man
of
wicked
devices
will
he
condemn.
3
A
man
shall
not
be
established
by
wickedness:
but
the
root
of
the
righteous
shall
not
be
moved.
4
A
virtuous
woman
[is]
a
crown
to
her
husband:
but
she
that
maketh
ashamed
[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
his
wisdom:
but
he
that
is
of
a
perverse
heart
shall
be
despised.
9
[He
that
is]
despised,
and
hath
a
servant,
[is]
better
than
he
that
honoureth
himself,
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
land
shall
be
satisfied
with
bread:
but
he
that
followeth
vain
[persons
is]
void
of
understanding.
12
The
wicked
desireth
the
net
of
evil
[men]:
but
the
root
of
the
righteous
yieldeth
[fruit].
13
The
wicked
is
snared
by
the
transgression
of
[his]
lips:
but
the
just
shall
come
out
of
trouble.
14
A
man
shall
be
satisfied
with
good
by
the
fruit
of
[his]
mouth:
and
the
recompence
of
a
man’s
hands
shall
be
rendered
unto
him.
15
The
way
of
a
fool
[is]
right
in
his
own
eyes:
but
he
that
hearkeneth
unto
counsel
[is]
wise.
16
A
fool’s
wrath
is
presently
known:
but
a
prudent
[man]
covereth
shame.
17
[He
that]
speaketh
truth
sheweth
forth
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
imagine
evil:
but
to
the
counsellors
of
peace
[is]
joy.
21
There
shall
no
evil
happen
to
the
just:
but
the
wicked
shall
be
filled
with
mischief.
22
Lying
lips
[are]
abomination
to
the
LORD:
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
Heaviness
in
the
heart
of
man
maketh
it
stoop:
but
a
good
word
maketh
it
glad.
26
The
righteous
[is]
more
excellent
than
his
neighbour:
but
the
way
of
the
wicked
seduceth
them.
27
The
slothful
[man]
roasteth
not
that
which
he
took
in
hunting:
but
the
substance
of
a
diligent
man
[is]
precious.
28
In
the
way
of
righteousness
[is]
life;
and
[in]
the
pathway
[thereof
there
is]
no
death.
