An Honest Life Is Immortal

10Wise son, glad father; stupid son, sad mother.H4912H8010H2450H1121H8055H1H3684H1121H8424H517 2Ill-gotten gain gets you nowhere; an honest life is immortal.H214H7562H3276H6666H5337H4194 3GOD won't starve an honest soul, but he frustrates the appetites of the wicked.H3068H7456H5315H6662H7456H1920H1942H7563 4Sloth makes you poor; diligence brings wealth.H7326H6213H7423H3709H3027H2742H6238 5Make hay while the sun shines—that's smart; go fishing during harvest—that's stupid.H103H7019H7919H1121H7290H7105H1121H954 6Blessings accrue on a good and honest life, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.H1293H7218H6662H2555H3680H6310H7563 7A good and honest life is a blessed memorial; a wicked life leaves a rotten stench.H2143H6662H1293H8034H7563H7537 8A wise heart takes orders; an empty head will come unglued.H2450H3820H3947H4687H8193H191H3832 9Honesty lives confident and carefree, but Shifty is sure to be exposed.H3212H8537H1980H983H6140H1870H3045 10An evasive eye is a sign of trouble ahead, but an open, face-to-face meeting results in peace.H7169H5869H5414H6094H8193H191H3832 11The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.H6310H6662H4726H2416H2555H3680H6310H7563 12Hatred starts fights, but love pulls a quilt over the bickering.H8135H5782H4090H160H3680H6588 13You'll find wisdom on the lips of a person of insight, but the shortsighted needs a slap in the face.H8193H995H2451H4672H7626H1460H2638H3820 14The wise accumulate knowledge—a true treasure; know-it-alls talk too much—a sheer waste.H2450H6845H1847H6310H191H7138H4288

The Road to Life Is a Disciplined Life

15The wealth of the rich is their bastion; the poverty of the indigent is their ruin.H6223H1952H5797H7151H4288H1800H7389 16The wage of a good person is exuberant life; an evil person ends up with nothing but sin.H6468H6662H2416H8393H7563H2403 17The road to life is a disciplined life; ignore correction and you're lost for good.H734H2416H8104H4148H5800H8433H8582 18Liars secretly hoard hatred; fools openly spread slander.H3680H8135H8267H8193H3318H1681H3684 19The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words.H7230H1697H2308H6588H2820H8193H7919 20The speech of a good person is worth waiting for; the blabber of the wicked is worthless.H3956H6662H977H3701H3820H7563H4592 21The talk of a good person is rich fare for many, but chatterboxes die of an empty heart.H8193H6662H7462H7227H191H4191H2638H3820

Fear-of-God Expands Your Life

22GOD's blessing makes life rich; nothing we do can improve on God.H1293H3068H6238H3254H6089 23An empty-head thinks mischief is fun, but a mindful person relishes wisdom.H7814H3684H6213H2154H376H8394H2451 24The nightmares of the wicked come true; what the good people desire, they get.H4034H7563H935H8378H6662H5414 25When the storm is over, there's nothing left of the wicked; good people, firm on their rock foundation, aren't even fazed.H5492H5674H7563H6662H5769H3247 26A lazy employee will give you nothing but trouble; it's vinegar in the mouth, smoke in the eyes.H2558H8127H6227H5869H6102H7971 27The Fear-of-GOD expands your life; a wicked life is a puny life.H3374H3068H3254H3117H8141H7563H7114 28The aspirations of good people end in celebration; the ambitions of bad people crash.H8431H6662H8057H8615H7563H6 29GOD is solid backing to a well-lived life, but he calls into question a shabby performance.H1870H3068H4581H8537H4288H6466H205 30Good people last—they can't be moved; the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.H6662H5769H4131H7563H7931H776 31A good person's mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom; a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.H6310H6662H5107H2451H8419H3956H3772 32The speech of a good person clears the air; the words of the wicked pollute it.H8193H6662H3045H7522H6310H7563H8419
