PR 10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit
nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. PR 10:3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. PR 10:4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. PR 10:5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. PR 10:6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. PR 10:7 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. PR 10:8 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. PR 10:9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. PR 10:10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. PR 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. PR 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. PR 10:13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. PR 10:14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. PR 10:15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. PR 10:16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. PR 10:17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. PR 10:18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. PR 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. PR 10:20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. PR 10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. PR 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. PR 10:23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. PR 10:24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. PR 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. PR 10:26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. PR 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. PR 10:28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. PR 10:29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. PR 10:30 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. PR 10:31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. PR 10:32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. PR 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. PR 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. PR 11:3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. PR 11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. PR 11:5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. PR 11:6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. PR 11:7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. PR 11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. PR 11:9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. PR 11:10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. PR 11:11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. PR 11:12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. PR 11:13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. PR 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. PR 11:15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. PR 11:16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. PR 11:17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. PR 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. PR 11:19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. PR 11:20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. PR 11:21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. PR 11:22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. PR 11:23 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. PR 11:24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. PR 11:25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. PR 11:26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. PR 11:27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. PR 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. PR 11:29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. PR 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. PR 11:31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner. PR 12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. PR 12:2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. PR 12:3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. PR 12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. PR 12:5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. PR 12:6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. PR 12:7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. PR 12:8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. PR 12:9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. PR 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. PR 12:11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. PR 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. PR 12:13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. PR 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. PR 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. PR 12:16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. PR 12:17 He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. PR 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. PR 12:19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. PR 12:20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. PR 12:21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. PR 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. PR 12:23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. PR 12:24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. PR 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. PR 12:26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. PR 12:27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. PR 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. PR 13:1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. PR 13:2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. PR 13:3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. PR 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. PR 13:5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. PR 13:6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. PR 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. PR 13:8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. PR 13:9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. PR 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. PR 13:11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. PR 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. PR 13:13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. PR 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. PR 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. PR 13:16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. PR 13:17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. PR 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. PR 13:19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. PR 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. PR 13:21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. PR 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. PR 13:23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. PR 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. PR 13:25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want. PR 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. PR 14:2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. PR 14:3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. PR 14:4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. PR 14:5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. PR 14:6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. PR 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. PR 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. PR 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. PR 14:10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. PR 14:11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. PR 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. PR 14:13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. PR 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. PR 14:15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. PR 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. PR 14:17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. PR 14:18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. PR 14:19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. PR 14:20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. PR 14:21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. PR 14:22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. PR 14:23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. PR 14:24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly. PR 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. PR 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. PR 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. PR 14:28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. PR 14:29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. PR 14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. PR 14:31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. PR 14:32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. PR 14:33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. PR 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. PR 14:35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame. PR 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. |
