1
A
wise
son
[heareth]
his
father’s
instruction:
but
a
scorner
heareth
not
rebuke.
2
A
man
shall
eat
good
by
the
fruit
of
[his]
mouth:
but
the
soul
of
the
transgressors
[shall
eat]
violence.
3
He
that
keepeth
his
mouth
keepeth
his
life:
[but]
he
that
openeth
wide
his
lips
shall
have
destruction.
4
The
soul
of
the
sluggard
desireth,
and
[hath]
nothing:
but
the
soul
of
the
diligent
shall
be
made
fat.
5
A
righteous
[man]
hateth
lying:
but
a
wicked
[man]
is
loathsome,
and
cometh
to
shame.
6
Righteousness
keepeth
[him
that
is]
upright
in
the
way:
but
wickedness
overthroweth
the
sinner.
7
There
is
that
maketh
himself
rich,
yet
[hath]
nothing:
[there
is]
that
maketh
himself
poor,
yet
[hath]
great
riches.
8
The
ransom
of
a
man’s
life
[are]
his
riches:
but
the
poor
heareth
not
rebuke.
9
The
light
of
the
righteous
rejoiceth:
but
the
lamp
of
the
wicked
shall
be
put
out.
10
Only
by
pride
cometh
contention:
but
with
the
well
advised
[is]
wisdom.
11
Wealth
[gotten]
by
vanity
shall
be
diminished:
but
he
that
gathereth
by
labour
shall
increase.
12
Hope
deferred
maketh
the
heart
sick:
but
[when]
the
desire
cometh,
[it
is]
a
tree
of
life.
13
Whoso
despiseth
the
word
shall
be
destroyed:
but
he
that
feareth
the
commandment
shall
be
rewarded.
14
The
law
of
the
wise
[is]
a
fountain
of
life,
to
depart
from
the
snares
of
death.
15
Good
understanding
giveth
favour:
but
the
way
of
transgressors
[is]
hard.
16
Every
prudent
[man]
dealeth
with
knowledge:
but
a
fool
layeth
open
[his]
folly.
17
A
wicked
messenger
falleth
into
mischief:
but
a
faithful
ambassador
[is]
health.
18
Poverty
and
shame
[shall
be
to]
him
that
refuseth
instruction:
but
he
that
regardeth
reproof
shall
be
honoured.
19
The
desire
accomplished
is
sweet
to
the
soul:
but
[it
is]
abomination
to
fools
to
depart
from
evil.
20
He
that
walketh
with
wise
[men]
shall
be
wise:
but
a
companion
of
fools
shall
be
destroyed.
21
Evil
pursueth
sinners:
but
to
the
righteous
good
shall
be
repayed.
22
A
good
[man]
leaveth
an
inheritance
to
his
children’s
children:
and
the
wealth
of
the
sinner
[is]
laid
up
for
the
just.
23
Much
food
[is
in]
the
tillage
of
the
poor:
but
there
is
[that
is]
destroyed
for
want
of
judgment.
24
He
that
spareth
his
rod
hateth
his
son:
but
he
that
loveth
him
chasteneth
him
betimes.
25
The
righteous
eateth
to
the
satisfying
of
his
soul:
but
the
belly
of
the
wicked
shall
want.
