Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
|
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. |
|
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. |
|
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. |
|
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. |
|
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. |
|
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. |
|
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. |
|
The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. |
|
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. |
|
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. |
|
The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. |
|
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. |
