         A wise man will hear,                and will increase learning;              and a man of understanding           shall attain unto wise counsels:    1:5            The fear of the LORD               is the beginning of knowledge:             but fools despise wisdom                    and instruction.            1:7       For the froward is abomination                   to the LORD:               but His secret is with the righteous.                                          3:32          The curse of the LORD               is in the house of the wicked:          but He blesseth the habitation                   of the just.              3:33      The wise shall inherit glory:                                                         but shame shall be                   the promotion of fools.         3:35    For wisdom is better than rubies;                                             and all the things that may be desired      are not to be compared to it.      8:11     A wise son maketh a glad father:                                                       but a foolish son                is the heaviness of his mother.     10:1 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:                                                    but righteousness                     delivereth from death.         10:2    The LORD will not suffer the soul          of the righteous to famish:          but He casteth away the substance                 of the wicked.             10:3    He becometh poor that dealeth with                a slack hand:                    but the hand of the diligent                    maketh rich.              10:4       He that gathereth in summer                    is a wise son:                but he that sleepeth in harvest is          a son that causeth shame.        10:5 Blessings are upon the head of the just:                                            but violence covereth the mouth                  of the wicked.             10:6    The memory of the just is blessed:                                            but the name of the wicked shall rot.                                          10:7      The wise in heart will receive                  commandments:                   but a prating fool shall fall.                                             10:8        He that walketh uprightly                    walketh surely:                 but he that perverteth his ways                 shall be known.             10:9       He that winketh with the eye                  causeth sorrow:                  but a prating fool shall fall.                                             10:10    The mouth of a righteous man is                 a well of life:                 but violence covereth the mouth                  of the wicked.             10:11      Hatred stirreth up strifes:                                                     but love covereth all sins.                                               10:12      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.     10:13       Wise men lay up knowledge:                                                     but the mouth of the foolish                is near destruction.          10:14        The rich man's wealth is                    his strong city:                  the destruction of the poor                  is their poverty.            10:15   The labor of the righteous tendeth                   to life:                    the fruit of the wicked to sin.                                             10:16        He is in the way of life               that keepeth instruction:          but he that refuseth reproof erreth.                                          10:17    In the multitude of words there                 wanteth not sin:                but he that refraineth his lips                     is wise.                10:19         The tongue of the just                   is as choice silver:                  the heart of the wicked                     is little worth.            10:20  The lips of the righteous feed many:                                             but fools die for want of wisdom.                                            10:21It is as sport to a fool to do mischief:                                        but a man of understanding hath wisdom.                                         10:23        The fear of the wicked,                 it shall come upon him:             but the desire of the righteous                shall be granted.            10:24       As the whirlwind passeth,               so is the wicked no more:                but the righteous is an                 everlasting foundation.         10:25        As vinegar to the teeth,               and as smoke to the eyes,               so is the sluggard to them                    that send him.             10:26 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days:                                                but the years of the wicked                 shall be shortened.           10:27       The hope of the righteous                   shall be gladness:              but the expectation of the wicked                 shall perish.              10:28    The way of the LORD is strength                 to the upright:             but destruction shall be to the workers               of iniquity.              10:29 The righteous shall never be removed:                                              but the wicked shall not inhabit                   the earth.               10:30     The mouth of the just bringeth                  forth wisdom:              but the froward tongue shall be cut out.                                        10:31     The lips of the righteous know               what is acceptable:                 but the mouth of the wicked                speaketh frowardness.          10:32     A false balance is abomination                   to the LORD:                 but a just weight is His delight.                                            11:1            When pride cometh,                      then cometh shame:                but with the lowly is wisdom.                                              11:2       The integrity of the upright                 shall guide them:             but the perverseness of transgressors            shall destroy them.           11:3       Riches profit not in the day                     of wrath:                but righteousness delivereth from death.                                        11:4     The righteousness of the perfect             shall direct his way:                 but the wicked shall fall                 by his own wickedness.         11:5     The righteousness of the upright              shall deliver them:               but transgressors shall be taken           in their own naughtiness.        11:6         When a wicked man dieth,             his expectation shall perish:       and the hope of unjust men perisheth.                                          11:7        The righteous is delivered                   out of trouble,               and the wicked cometh in his stead.                                           11:8       An hypocrite with his mouth               destroyeth his neighbor:          but through knowledge shall the just               be delivered.              11:9  When it goeth well with the righteous,           the city rejoiceth:                 and when the wicked perish,                  there is shouting.           11:10     By the blessing of the upright               the city is exalted:                  but it is overthrown by                 the mouth of the wicked.        11:11  He that is void of wisdom despiseth                his neighbor:                     but a man of understanding                  holdeth his peace.           11:12    A talebearer revealeth secrets:                                               but he that is of a faithful spirit            concealeth the matter.         11:13 Where no counsel is, the people fall:                                            but in the multitude of counsellors               there is safety.            11:14    He that is surety for a stranger              shall smart for it:            and he that hateth suretiship is sure.                                         11:15   A gracious woman retaineth honor:                                                 and strong men retain riches.                                              11:16      The merciful man doeth good                   to his own soul:                 but he that is cruel troubleth                  his own flesh.             11:17  The wicked worketh a deceitful work:                                            but to him that soweth righteousness          shall be a sure reward.         11:18   As righteousness tendeth to life:                                                    so he that pursueth evil             pursueth it to his own death.      11:19  They that are of a froward heart are          abomination to the LORD:          but such as are upright in their way              are His delight.            11:20       Though hand join in hand,          the wicked shall not be unpunished:        but the seed of the righteous                shall be delivered.           11:21 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout,                                               so is a fair woman which is                 without discretion.           11:22      The desire of the righteous                    is only good:                 but the expectation of the wicked                   is wrath.                11:23       There is that scattereth,                  and yet increaseth;              and there is that withholdeth more   than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.11:24  The liberal soul shall be made fat:                                            and he that watereth shall be watered               also himself.              11:25       He that withholdeth corn,              the people shall curse him:         but blessing shall be upon the head           of him that selleth it.         11:26    He that diligently seeketh good                 procureth favor:                 but he that seeketh mischief,              it shall come unto him.         11:27     He that trusteth in his riches                   shall fall:                   but the righteous shall flourish                  as a branch.              11:28    He that troubleth his own house             shall inherit the wind:              and the fool shall be servant               to the wise of heart.          11:29     The fruit of the righteous is                  a tree of life;                and he that winneth souls is wise.                                           11:30     Behold, the righteous shall be            recompensed in the earth:          much more the wicked and the sinner.                                          11:31        Whoso loveth instruction                   loveth knowledge:             but he that hateth reproof is brutish.                                         12:1        A good man obtaineth favor                     of the LORD:                    but a man of wicked devices                   will He condemn.            12:2      A man shall not be established                  by wickedness:                  but the root of the righteous                shall not be moved.           12:3       A virtuous woman is a crown                   to her husband:                but she that maketh ashamed is as            rottenness in his bones.        12:4 The thoughts of the righteous are right:                                             but the counsels of the wicked                   are deceit.               12:5    The words of the wicked are to lie              in wait for blood:                 but the mouth of the upright                shall deliver them.           12:6 The wicked are overthrown, and are not:                                              but the house of the righteous                   shall stand.              12:7    A man shall be commended according                to his wisdom:                but he that is of a perverse heart              shall be despised.           12:8    A righteous man regardeth the life                of his beast:                but the tender mercies of the wicked                 are cruel.               12:10        He that tilleth his land             shall be satisfied with bread:        but he that followeth vain persons          is void of understanding.        12:11      The wicked desireth the net                     of evil men:                   but the root of the righteous                  yieldeth fruit.             12:12          The wicked is snared             by the transgression of his lips:    but the just shall come out of trouble.                                         12:13 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.       12:14           The way of a fool                   is right in his own eyes:          but he that hearkeneth unto counsel                   is wise.                12:15   A fool's wrath is presently known:                                              but a prudent man covereth shame.                                            12:16     He that speaketh truth showeth               forth righteousness:                but a false witness deceit.                                               12:17      There is that speaketh like              the piercings of a sword:         but the tongue of the wise is health.                                          12:18       The lip of truth shall be                 established for ever:          but a lying tongue is but for a moment.                                         12:19     Deceit is in the heart of them                that imagine evil:           but to the counsellors of peace is joy.                                         12:20There shall no evil happen to the just:                                              but the wicked shall be filled                  with mischief.             12:21Lying lips are abomination to the LORD:                                                 but they that deal truly                    are His delight.            12:22  A prudent man concealeth knowledge:                                                    but the heart of fools                 proclaimeth foolishness.        12:23        The hand of the diligent                    shall bear rule:            but the slothful shall be under tribute.                                        12:24     Heaviness in the heart of man                  maketh it stoop:                but a good word maketh it glad.                                             12:25    The righteous is more excellent                than his neighbor:           but the way of the wicked seduceth them.                                        12:26   The slothful man roasteth not that          which he took in hunting:          but the substance of a diligent man                 is precious.              12:27  In the way of righteousness is life;                                                 and in the pathway thereof                  there is no death.           12:28           A wise son heareth                  his father's instruction:           but a scorner heareth not rebuke.                                            13:1          A man shall eat good                  by the fruit of his mouth:          but the soul of the transgressors              shall eat violence.           13:2        He that keepeth his mouth                   keepeth his life:               but he that openeth wide his lips            shall have destruction.         13:3    The soul of the sluggard desireth,              and hath nothing:                 but the soul of the diligent                  shall be made fat.           13:4      A righteous man hateth lying:                                                  but a wicked man is loathsome,                and cometh to shame.          13:5    Righteousness keepeth him that is              upright in the way:           but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.                                         13:6   There is that maketh himself rich,               yet hath nothing:              there is that maketh himself poor,             yet hath great riches.         13:7       The ransom of a man's life                    are his riches:                 but the poor heareth not rebuke.                                            13:8  The light of the righteous rejoiceth:                                                but the lamp of the wicked                   shall be put out.            13:9    Only by pride cometh contention:                                               but with the well advised is wisdom.                                          13:10        Wealth gotten by vanity                  shall be diminished:               but he that gathereth by labor                  shall increase.             13:11  Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:                                                but when the desire cometh,                it is a tree of life.          13:12        Whoso despiseth the word                  shall be destroyed:             but he that feareth the commandment              shall be rewarded.           13:13    Good understanding giveth favor:                                             but the way of transgressors is hard.                                          13:15       Every prudent man dealeth                    with knowledge:                but a fool layeth open his folly.                                            13:16       A wicked messenger falleth                    into mischief:               but a faithful ambassador is health.                                          13:17   Poverty and shame shall be to him          that refuseth instruction:             but he that regardeth reproof                 shall be honored.            13:18        The desire accomplished                  is sweet to the soul:              but it is abomination to fools                to depart from evil.          13:19     He that walketh with wise men                  shall be wise:                     but a companion of fools                   shall be destroyed.           13:20        Evil pursueth sinners:                                                         but to the righteous good                   shall be repayed.            13:21   A good man leaveth an inheritance          to his children's children:             and the wealth of the sinner              is laid up for the just.        13:22      Much food is in the tillage                     of the poor:                   but there is that is destroyed              for want of judgment.          13:23He that spareth his rod hateth his son:                                                 but he that loveth him                  chasteneth him betimes.         13:24The righteous eateth to the satisfying               of his soul:               but the belly of the wicked shall want.                                         13:25 Every wise woman buildeth her house:                                              but the foolish plucketh it down                 with her hands.             14:1   He that walketh in his uprightness               feareth the LORD:              but he that is perverse in his ways                despiseth Him.             14:2       In the mouth of the foolish                 is a rod of pride:                but the lips of the wise shall                   preserve them.             14:3  Where no oxen are, the crib is clean:                                           but much increase is by the strength                  of the ox.               14:4    A faithful witness will not lie:                                               but a false witness will utter lies.                                          14:5        A scorner seeketh wisdom,                  and findeth it not:               but knowledge is easy unto him                that understandeth.           14:6 Go from the presence of a foolish man,                                              when thou perceivest not in him              the lips of knowledge.         14:7        The wisdom of the prudent               is to understand his way:           but the folly of fools is deceit.                                            14:8        Fools make a mock at sin:                                                but among the righteous there is favor.                                         14:9  The heart knoweth his own bitterness;                                            and a stranger doth not intermeddle                with his joy.              14:10        The house of the wicked                  shall be overthrown:              but the tabernacle of the upright                shall flourish.             14:11  There is a way which seemeth right                  unto a man,                         but the end thereof                    are the ways of death.         14:12Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful;                                        and the end of that mirth is heaviness.                                         14:13        The backslider in heart            shall be filled with his own ways:      and a good man shall be satisfied                 from himself.              14:14   The simple believeth every word:                                                       but the prudent man                  looketh well to his going.       14:15          A wise man feareth,                   and departeth from evil:         but the fool rageth, and is confident.                                         14:16         He that is soon angry                     dealeth foolishly:            and a man of wicked devices is hated.                                          14:17       The simple inherit folly:                                                      but the prudent are crowned                   with knowledge.             14:18     The evil bow before the good;                                                    and the wicked at the gates                  of the righteous.            14:19           The poor is hated                   even of his own neighbor:            but the rich hath many friends.                                             14:20He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth:                                           but he that hath mercy on the poor,                 happy is he.              14:21   Do they not err that devise evil?                                                  but mercy and truth shall be             to them that devise good.        14:22     In all labor there is profit:                                                     but the talk of the lips                 tendeth only to penury.         14:23The crown of the wise is their riches:                                           but the foolishness of fools is folly.                                         14:24   A true witness delivereth souls:                                              but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.                                         14:25        In the fear of the LORD                  is strong confidence:                and his children shall have                  a place of refuge.           14:26        The fear of the LORD is                   a fountain of life,             to depart from the snares of death.                                           14:27       In the multitude of people                is the king's honor:                  but in the want of people           is the destruction of the prince.    14:28       He that is slow to wrath                is of great understanding:           but he that is hasty of spirit                  exalteth folly.             14:29A sound heart is the life of the flesh:                                          but envy the rottenness of the bones.                                          14:30      He that oppresseth the poor               reproacheth his Maker:                 but he that honoreth Him                 hath mercy on the poor.         14:31       The wicked is driven away                   in his wickedness:                 but the righteous hath hope                    in his death.              14:32      Wisdom resteth in the heart           of him that hath understanding:     but that which is in the midst of fools              is made known.             14:33   Righteousness exalteth a nation:                                               but sin is a reproach to any people.                                          14:34           The king's favor                    is toward a wise servant:             but his wrath is against him                 that causeth shame.           14:35   A soft answer turneth away wrath:                                               but grievous words stir up anger.                                            15:1          The tongue of the wise                 useth knowledge aright:                  but the mouth of fools                 poureth out foolishness.        15:2          A wholesome tongue is                      a tree of life:                     but perverseness therein               is a breach in the spirit.       15:4      A fool despiseth his father's                    instruction:                   but he that regardeth reproof                    is prudent.               15:5      In the house of the righteous                 is much treasure:               but in the revenues of the wicked                  is trouble.               15:6           The lips of the wise                    disperse knowledge:                 but the heart of the foolish                   doeth not so.              15:7       The sacrifice of the wicked            is an abomination to the LORD:          but the prayer of the upright                  is His delight.             15:8 The way of the wicked is an abomination              unto the LORD:                 but he loveth Him that followeth              after righteousness.          15:9     Correction is grievous unto him             that forsaketh the way:          and he that hateth reproof shall die.                                          15:10    Hell and destruction are before                    the LORD:                     how much more then the hearts              of the children of men?         15:11        A scorner loveth not one                  that reproveth him:              neither will he go unto the wise.                                            15:12          A merry heart maketh                  a cheerful countenance:                but by sorrow of the heart                the spirit is broken.          15:13The heart of him that hath understanding           seeketh knowledge:                    but the mouth of fools                 feedeth on foolishness.         15:14     All the days of the afflicted                     are evil:                    but he that is of a merry heart             hath a continual feast.         15:15   A wrathful man stirreth up strife:                                                 but he that is slow to anger                 appeaseth strife.            15:18      The way of the slothful man              is as an hedge of thorns:              but the way of the righteous                   is made plain.             15:19    A wise son maketh a glad father:                                                  but a foolish man despiseth                     his mother.               15:20      Folly is joy to him that is                 destitute of wisdom:                 but a man of understanding                  walketh uprightly.           15:21        Without counsel purposes                   are disappointed:              but in the multitude of counsellors            they are established.          15:22      A man hath joy by the answer                   of his mouth:                  and a word spoken in due season,                how good is it!             15:23         The LORD will destroy                  the house of the proud:             but He will establish the border                 of the widow.              15:25       The thoughts of the wicked           are an abomination to the LORD:            but the words of the pure                  are pleasant words.           15:26       He that is greedy of gain                troubleth his own house;          but he that hateth gifts shall live.                                          15:27       The heart of the righteous                 studieth to answer:                 but the mouth of the wicked               poureth out evil things.        15:28    The LORD is far from the wicked:                                                   but He heareth the prayer                   of the righteous.            15:29         The light of the eyes                    rejoiceth the heart:          and a good report maketh the bones fat.                                         15:30      He that refuseth instruction              despiseth his own soul:               but he that heareth reproof                getteth understanding.         15:32          The fear of the LORD               is the instruction of wisdom;           and before honour is humility.                                             15:33    All the ways of a man are clean                 in his own eyes;               but the LORD weigheth the spirits.                                           16:2     A man's heart deviseth his way:                                                but the LORD directeth his steps.                                            16:9        The wrath of a king is as                  messengers of death:               but a wise man will pacify it.                                             16:14       In the light of the king's                 countenance is life;                and his favour is as a cloud                of the latter rain.           16:15    Pride goeth before destruction,                                               and an haughty spirit before a fall.                                          16:18    He that handleth a matter wisely                shall find good:                and whoso trusteth in the LORD,                   happy is he.              16:20 Understanding is a wellspring of life           unto him that hath it:          but the instruction of fools is folly.                                         16:22   There is a way that seemeth right                  unto a man,                       but the end thereof are                    the ways of death.           16:25      A froward man soweth strife:                                                     and a whisperer separateth                    chief friends.             16:28      He that is slow to anger is               better than the mighty;              and he that ruleth his spirit            than he that taketh a city.       16:32     The lot is cast into the lap;                                                      but the whole disposing                 thereof is of the LORD.         16:33        Better is a dry morsel,                 and quietness therewith,            than an house full of sacrifices                  with strife.              17:1      The fining pot is for silver,             and the furnace for gold:            but the LORD trieth the hearts.                                             17:3          Whoso mocketh the poor                  reproacheth his Maker:            and he that is glad at calamities            shall not be unpunished.        17:5         Children's children are                  the crown of old men;               and the glory of children are                   their fathers.             17:6     He that covereth a transgression                 seeketh love;                   but he that repeateth a matter             separateth very friends.        17:9         He that begetteth a fool                doeth it to his sorrow:          and the father of a fool hath no joy.                                          17:21        A merry heart doeth good                    like a medicine:             but a broken spirit drieth the bones.                                          17:22       Wisdom is before him that                  hath understanding;            but the eyes of a fool are in the ends              of the earth.              17:24         He that hath knowledge                    spareth his words:                  and a man of understanding              is of an excellent spirit.       17:27Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace,             is counted wise:                 and he that shutteth his lips        is esteemed a man of understanding.   17:28A fool hath no delight in understanding,                                        but that his heart may discover itself.                                         18:2   It is not good to accept the person                of the wicked,             to overthrow the righteous in judgment.                                         18:5   A fool's lips enter into contention,                                             and his mouth calleth for strokes.                                           18:6    A fool's mouth is his destruction,                                           and his lips are the snare of his soul.                                         18:7 The words of a talebearer are as wounds,                                                 and they go down into             the innermost parts of the belly.    18:8 The name of the LORD is a strong tower:                                              the righteous runneth into it,                   and is safe.              18:10  Before destruction the heart of man                 is haughty,                    and before honor is humility.                                              18:12       He that answereth a matter                before he heareth it,              it is folly and shame unto him.                                             18:13        The spirit of a man will                 sustain his infirmity;            but a wounded spirit who can bear?                                           18:14        The heart of the prudent                   getteth knowledge;                   and the ear of the wise                    seeketh knowledge.           18:15 The lot causeth contentions to cease,                                              and parteth between the mighty.                                             18:18    A man's belly shall be satisfied          with the fruit of his mouth;         and with the increase of his lips              shall he be filled.           18:20    Death and life are in the power                  of the tongue:                 and they that love it shall eat                the fruit thereof.           18:21          Whoso findeth a wife                   findeth a good thing,              and obtaineth favor of the LORD.                                            18:22       The poor useth entreaties;                                                   but the rich answereth roughly.                                             18:23      Wealth maketh many friends;                                                      but the poor is separated                   from his neighbor.           19:4 A false witness shall not be unpunished,                                               and he that speaketh lies                   shall not escape.            19:5       Many will entreat the favor                    of the prince:                 and every man is a friend to him               that giveth gifts.           19:6 A false witness shall not be unpunished,                                        and he that speaketh lies shall perish.                                         19:9    Delight is not seemly for a fool;                                                    much less for a servant                to have rule over princes.       19:10        The discretion of a man                   deferreth his anger;              and it is his glory to pass over                a transgression.            19:11   The king's wrath is as the roaring                  of a lion;               but his favor is as dew upon the grass.                                         19:12     A foolish son is the calamity                   of his father:                  and the contentions of a wife             are a continual dropping.        19:13  House and riches are the inheritance                of fathers:                 and a prudent wife is from the LORD.                                          19:14Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;                                          and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.                                          19:15    He that keepeth the commandment              keepeth his own soul;               but he that despiseth His ways                    shall die.               19:16    He that hath pity upon the poor              lendeth unto the LORD;               and that which he hath given               will He pay him again.         19:17  Chasten thy son while there is hope,                                                 and let not thy soul spare                   for his crying.             19:18       A man of great wrath shall                  suffer punishment:                   for if thou deliver him,               yet thou must do it again.       19:19 Hear counsel, and receive instruction,                                                 that thou mayest be wise                   in thy latter end.           19:20There are many devices in a man's heart;                                         nevertheless the counsel of the LORD,             that shall stand.            19:21     A slothful man hideth his hand                  in his bosom,                  and will not so much as bring it              to his mouth again.           19:24            Smite a scorner,                  and the simple will beware:       and reprove one that hath understanding,   and he will understand knowledge.    19:25 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment:                                                and the mouth of the wicked                 devoureth iniquity.           19:28  Judgments are prepared for scorners,                                             and stripes for the back of fools.                                           19:29           Wine is a mocker,                    strong drink is raging:            and whosoever is deceived thereby                  is not wise.              20:1            The fear of a king                 is as the roaring of a lion:            whoso provoketh him to anger           sinneth against his own soul.      20:2    It is an honor for a man to cease                  from strife:                  but every fool will be meddling.                                            20:3       Counsel in the heart of man                 is like deep water;                  but a man of understanding                  will draw it out.            20:5     Most men will proclaim every one               his own goodness:                but a faithful man who can find?                                            20:6       It is naught, it is naught,                   saith the buyer:                  but when he is gone his way,                 then he boasteth.            20:14             There is gold,                    and a multitude of rubies:              but the lips of knowledge                 are a precious jewel.          20:15   Bread of deceit is sweet to a man;                                              but afterwards his mouth shall be              filled with gravel.           20:17  An inheritance may be gotten hastily             at the beginning;                      but the end thereof                    shall not be blessed.          20:21 Say not thou, I will recompense evil;                                                   but wait on the LORD,                  and He shall save thee.         20:22         The glory of young men                    is their strength:                  and the beauty of old men                   is the grey head.            20:29      Every way of a man is right                   in his own eyes:               but the LORD pondereth the hearts.                                           21:2       The thoughts of the diligent            tend only to plenteousness;            but of every one that is hasty                  only to want.              21:5  The way of man is froward and strange:                                                   but as for the pure,                     his work is right.           21:8    It is better to dwell in a corner                of the housetop,                   than with a brawling woman                   in a wide house.            21:9      When the scorner is punished,              the simple is made wise:            and when the wise is instructed,            he receiveth knowledge.         21:11 It is joy to the just to do judgment:                                                  but destruction shall be              to the workers of iniquity.       21:15        He that loveth pleasure                   shall be a poor man:                he that loveth wine and oil                  shall not be rich.           21:17It is better to dwell in the wilderness,                                                than with a contentious                   and an angry woman.           21:19    There is treasure to be desired       and oil in the dwelling of the wise;     but a foolish man spendeth it up.                                            21:20     The horse is prepared against                 the day of battle:                  but safety is of the LORD.                                               21:21   A good name is rather to be chosen              than great riches,                 and loving favor rather than                  silver and gold.            22:1    A prudent man foreseeth the evil,              and hideth himself:                   but the simple pass on,                    and are punished.            22:3     Thorns and snares are in the way                of the froward:                    he that doth keep his soul               shall be far from them.         22:5       Train up a child in the way                    he should go:                        and when he is old,                 he will not depart from it.       22:6      The rich ruleth over the poor,                                                   and the borrower is servant                    to the lender.             22:7         He that soweth iniquity                    shall reap vanity:             and the rod of his anger shall fail.                                          22:8       He that hath a bountiful eye                 shall be blessed;            for he giveth of his bread to the poor.                                         22:9 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge,                                             and He overthroweth the words                of the transgressor.          22:12       The mouth of strange women                    is a deep pit:                 he that is abhorred of the LORD               shall fall therein.           22:14   Foolishness is bound in the heart                  of a child;                      but the rod of correction              shall drive it far from him.      22:15       Seest thou a man diligent                    in his business?                  he shall stand before kings;        he shall not stand before mean men.   22:29  For a just man falleth seven times,             and riseth up again:                 but the wicked shall fall                     into mischief.             24:16   It is the glory of God to conceal                    a thing:                       but the honor of kings is                to search out a matter.         25:2          As an earring of gold,              and an ornament of fine gold,             so is a wise reprover upon                   an obedient ear.            25:12           By long forbearing                    is a prince persuaded,           and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.                                          25:15           Withdraw thy foot                   from thy neighbor's house;              lest he be weary of thee,                   and so hate thee.            25:17   As cold waters to a thirsty soul,                                              so is good news from a far country.                                           25:25           As snow in summer,                   and as rain in harvest,            so honor is not seemly for a fool.                                           26:1          A whip for the horse,                   a bridle for the ass,               and a rod for the fool's back.                                             26:3    As a thorn goeth up into the hand                 of a drunkard,              so is a parable in the mouth of fools.                                         26:9     As a dog returneth to his vomit,                                               so a fool returneth to his folly.                                            26:11         Seest thou a man wise                    in his own conceit?                 there is more hope of a fool                    than of him.              26:12  As the door turneth upon his hinges,                                             so doth the slothful upon his bed.                                           26:14           Where no wood is,                   there the fire goeth out:            so where there is no talebearer,              the strife ceaseth.           26:20     As coals are to burning coals,                and wood to fire;                    so is a contentious man                    to kindle strife.            26:21Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein:                                               and he that rolleth a stone,              it will return upon him.        26:27    Boast not thyself of to morrow;                                                    for thou knowest not what                 a day may bring forth.         27:1 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty;                                              but a fool's wrath is heavier                  than them both.             27:3   Faithful are the wounds of a friend;                                                 but the kisses of an enemy                    are deceitful.             27:6   The full soul loatheth an honeycomb;                                                   but to the hungry soul               every bitter thing is sweet.      27:7    A prudent man foreseeth the evil,              and hideth himself;                   but the simple pass on,                    and are punished.            27:12         Iron sharpeneth iron;                                                    so a man sharpeneth the countenance                of his friend.             27:17 The wicked flee when no man pursueth:                                           but the righteous are bold as a lion.                                          28:1    Evil men understand not judgment:                                                  but they that seek the LORD                understand all things.         28:5      When righteous men do rejoice,              there is great glory:                 but when the wicked rise,                    a man is hidden.            28:12       He that covereth his sins                   shall not prosper:              but whoso confesseth and forsaketh            them shall have mercy.         28:13 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear;                                                   so is a wicked ruler                   over the poor people.          28:15 The prince that wanteth understanding         is also a great oppressor:           but he that hateth covetousness             shall prolong his days.         28:16Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved:                                           but he that is perverse in his ways             shall fall at once.           28:18        He that tilleth his land              shall have plenty of bread:           but he that followeth after vain       persons shall have poverty enough.   28:19      A faithful man shall abound                   with blessings:               but he that maketh haste to be rich            shall not be innocent.         28:20       To have respect of persons                     is not good:                      for for a piece of bread               that man will transgress.        28:21   He that trusteth in his own heart                   is a fool:                      but whoso walketh wisely,                 he shall be delivered.         28:26      He that giveth unto the poor                  shall not lack:                   but he that hideth his eyes               shall have many a curse.        28:27         When the wicked rise,                    men hide themselves:                   but when they perish,                  the righteous increase.         28:28  When the righteous are in authority,            the people rejoice:              but when the wicked beareth rule,               the people mourn.            29:2      Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth                    his father:               but he that keepeth company with harlots        spendeth his substance.         29:3           The king by judgment                   establisheth the land:               but he that receiveth gifts                   overthroweth it.            29:4   The righteous considereth the cause                 of the poor:              but the wicked regardeth not to know it.                                        29:7      A fool uttereth all his mind:                                                     but a wise man keepeth it                  in till afterwards.           29:11    The rod and reproof give wisdom:                                                  but a child left to himself            bringeth his mother to shame.      29:15       Where there is no vision,                   the people perish:                 but he that keepeth the law,                    happy is he.              29:18     Seest thou a man that is hasty                  in his words?                    there is more hope of a fool                    than of him.              29:20   A man's pride shall bring him low:                                                  but honor shall uphold the                  humble in spirit.            29:23      Many seek the ruler's favor;                                                      but every man's judgment                 cometh from the LORD.          29:26    An unjust man is an abomination                   to the just:                 and he that is upright in the way         is abomination to the wicked.      29:27
