The House of the Righteous Shall Stand

12Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.H157H4148H157H1847H8130H8433H1198
2A good man obtains favor from the LORD, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.H2896H6329H7522H3068H376H4209H7561
3A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.H120H3559H7562H8328H6662H4131
4An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.H2428H802H5850H1167H954H7538H6106
5The thoughts of the righteous are right, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.H4284H6662H4941H8458H7563H4820
6The words of the wicked are, "Lie in wait for blood," But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.H1697H7563H693H1818H6310H3477H5337
7The wicked are overthrown and are no more, But the house of the righteous will stand.H7563H2015H1004H6662H5975
8A man will be commended according to his wisdom, But he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.H376H1984H6310H7922H5753H3820H937
9Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant, Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.H7034H5650H2896H3513H2638H3899
10A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.H6662H3045H5315H929H7356H7563H394
11He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.H5647H127H7646H3899H7291H7386H2638H3820
12The wicked covet the catch of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields fruit.H7563H2530H4685H7451H8328H6662H5414
13The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.H7451H4170H6588H8193H6662H3318H6869
14A man will be satisifed with good by the fruit of his mouth, And the recompense of a man's hands will be rendered to him.H376H7646H2896H6529H6310H1576H120H3027H7725H7725
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.H1870H191H3477H5869H8085H6098H2450
16A fool's wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.H191H3708H3117H3045H6175H3680H7036
17He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.H6315H530H5046H6664H8267H5707H4820
18There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.H3426H981H4094H2719H3956H2450H4832
19The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.H8193H571H3559H5703H8267H3956H7280
20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.H4820H3820H2790H7451H3289H7965H8057
21No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil.H205H579H6662H7563H4390H7451
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.H8267H8193H8441H3068H6213H530H7522
23A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.H6175H120H3680H1847H3820H3684H7121H200
24The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.H3027H2742H4910H7423H4522
25Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.H1674H3820H376H7812H2896H1697H8055
26The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.H6662H8446H7453H1870H7563H8582
27The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man's precious possession.H7423H2760H6718H1952H2742H120H3368
28In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.H734H6666H2416H5410H1870H4194
