(1) A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. (2) The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness (3) The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (4) A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit (5) A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. (6) In the house of the righteous [is] much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. (7) The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so. (8) The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight. (9) The way of the wicked [is] an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. (10) Correction [is] grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof shall die (11) Hell and destruction [are] before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (12) A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. (13) A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. (14) The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. (15) All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [hath] a continual feast. (16) Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. (17) Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. (18) A wrathful man stirreth up strife : but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife. (19) The way of the slothful [man is] as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain (20) A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. (21) Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly (22) Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. (23) A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it] (24) The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. (25) The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. (26) The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD : but [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words (27) He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. (28) The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. (29) The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. (30) The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: [and] a good report maketh the bones fat. (31) The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. (32) He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding (33) The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom; and before honour [is] humility.
