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.
