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.
