12WHOEVER LOVES instruction {and} correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is like a brute beast, stupid {and} indiscriminating.H157H4148H157H1847H8130H8433H1198 2A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked devices He condemns.H2896H6329H7522H3068H376H4209H7561 3A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall never be moved.H120H3559H7562H8328H6662H4131 4A virtuous {and} worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.H2428H802H5850H1167H954H7538H6106 5The thoughts {and} purposes of the [consistently] righteous are honest {and} reliable, but the counsels {and} designs of the wicked are treacherous.H4284H6662H4941H8458H7563H4820 6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them {and} the innocent ones [thus endangered].H1697H7563H693H1818H6310H3477H5337 7The wicked are overthrown and are not, but the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall stand.H7563H2015H1004H6662H5975 8A man shall be commended according to his Wisdom [godly Wisdom, which is comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God], but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised.H376H1984H6310H7922H5753H3820H937 9Better is he who is lightly esteemed but works for his own support than he who assumes honor for himself and lacks bread.H7034H5650H2896H3513H2638H3899 10A [consistently] righteous man regards the life of his beast, but even the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.H6662H3045H5315H929H7356H7563H394 11He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits is lacking in sense {and} is without understanding.H5647H127H7646H3899H7291H7386H2638H3820 12The wicked desire the booty of evil men, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous yields [richer fruitage].H7563H2530H4685H7451H8328H6662H5414 13The wicked is [dangerously] snared by the transgression of his lips, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall come out of trouble.H7451H4170H6588H8193H6662H3318H6869 14From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good, and the work of a man's hands shall come back to him [as a harvest].H376H7646H2896H6529H6310H1576H120H3027H7725H7725 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who listens to counsel is wise.H1870H191H3477H5869H8085H6098H2450 16A fool's wrath is quickly {and} openly known, but a prudent man ignores an insult.H191H3708H3117H3045H6175H3680H7036 17He who breathes out truth shows forth righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), but a false witness utters deceit.H6315H530H5046H6664H8267H5707H4820 18There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.H3426H981H4094H2719H3956H2450H4832 19Truthful lips shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is [credited] but for a moment.H8193H571H3559H5703H8267H3956H7280 20Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but for the counselors of peace there is joy.H4820H3820H2790H7451H3289H7965H8057 21No [actual] evil, misfortune, {or} calamity shall come upon the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil, misfortune, {and} calamity.H205H579H6662H7563H4390H7451 22Lying lips are extremely disgusting {and} hateful to the Lord, but they who deal faithfully are His delight.H8267H8193H8441H3068H6213H530H7522 23A prudent man is reluctant to display his knowledge, but the heart of [self-confident] fools proclaims their folly.H6175H120H3680H1847H3820H3684H7121H200 24The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor.H3027H2742H4910H7423H4522 25Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad.H1674H3820H376H7812H2896H1697H8055 26The [consistently] righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked causes others to go astray.H6662H8446H7453H1870H7563H8582 27The slothful man does not catch his game {or} roast it once he kills it, but the diligent man gets precious possessions.H7423H2760H6718H1952H2742H120H3368 28Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death {but} immortality (perpetual, eternal life).H734H6666H2416H5410H1870H4194
