Contrast the Upright and the Wicked

12Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.H157H4148H157H1847H8130H8433H1198 2A good man will obtain favor from the LORD, But He will condemn a man who devises evil.H2896H6329H7522H3068H376H4209H7561 3A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved.H120H3559H7562H8328H6662H4131 4An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who shames [ him] is as rottenness in his bones.H2428H802H5850H1167H954H7538H6106 5The thoughts of the righteous are just, [But] the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.H4284H6662H4941H8458H7563H4820 6The words of the wicked 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 praised according to his insight, But one of perverse mind will be despised.H376H1984H6310H7922H5753H3820H937 9Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant, Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.H7034H5650H2896H3513H2638H3899 10A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast, But the compassion of the wicked is cruel.H6662H3045H5315H929H7356H7563H394 11He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues vain [things] lacks sense.H5647H127H7646H3899H7291H7386H2638H3820 12The wicked desires the booty of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields [fruit.]H7563H2530H4685H7451H8328H6662H5414 13An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will escape from trouble.H7451H4170H6588H8193H6662H3318H6869 14A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a man's hands will return to him.H376H7646H2896H6529H6310H1576H120H3027H7725H7725 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.H1870H191H3477H5869H8085H6098H2450 16A fool's vexation is known at once, But a prudent man conceals dishonor.H191H3708H3117H3045H6175H3680H7036 17He who speaks truth tells what is right, But a false witness, deceit.H6315H530H5046H6664H8267H5707H4820 18There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing.H3426H981H4094H2719H3956H2450H4832 19Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.H8193H571H3559H5703H8267H3956H7280 20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.H4820H3820H2790H7451H3289H7965H8057 21No harm befalls the righteous, But the wicked are filled with trouble.H205H579H6662H7563H4390H7451 22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal faithfully are His delight.H8267H8193H8441H3068H6213H530H7522 23A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims folly.H6175H120H3680H1847H3820H3684H7121H200 24The hand of the diligent will rule, But the slack [hand] will be put to forced labor.H3027H2742H4910H7423H4522 25Anxiety in the heart of a man weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad.H1674H3820H376H7812H2896H1697H8055 26The righteous is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.H6662H8446H7453H1870H7563H8582 27A slothful man does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a man [is] diligence.H7423H2760H6718H1952H2742H120H3368 28In the way of righteousness is life, And in [its] pathway there is no death.H734H6666H2416H5410H1870H4194
