Better <H2896> [is] the poor <H7326> that walketh <H1980> in his integrity, <H8537> than [he that is] perverse <H6141> in his lips, <H8193> and is a fool. <H3684>
2
Also, [that] the soul <H5315> [be] without knowledge, <H1847> [it is] not good; <H2896> and he that hasteth <H0213> with [his] feet <H7272> sinneth. <H2398>
3
The foolishness <H0200> of man <H0120> perverteth <H5557> his way: <H1870> and his heart <H3820> fretteth <H2196> against the LORD. <H3068>
4
Wealth <H1952> maketh <H3254> many <H7227> friends; <H7453> but the poor <H1800> is separated <H6504> from his neighbour. <H7453>
5
A false <H8267> witness <H5707> shall not be unpunished, <H5352> and [he that] speaketh <H6315> lies <H3577> shall not escape. <H4422>
6
Many <H7227> will intreat <H2470> the favour <H6440> of the prince: <H5081> and every man [is] a friend <H7453> to him <H0376> that giveth gifts. <H4976>
7
All the brethren <H0251> of the poor <H7326> do hate <H8130> him: how much more do his friends <H4828> go far <H7368> from him? he pursueth <H7291> [them with] words, <H0561> [yet] they [are] wanting [to him].
8
He that getteth <H7069> wisdom <H3820> loveth <H0157> his own soul: <H5315> he that keepeth <H8104> understanding <H8394> shall find <H4672> good. <H2896>
9
A false <H8267> witness <H5707> shall not be unpunished, <H5352> and [he that] speaketh <H6315> lies <H3577> shall perish. <H0006>
10
Delight <H8588> is not seemly <H5000> for a fool; <H3684> much less for a servant <H5650> to have rule <H4910> over princes. <H8269>
11
The discretion <H7922> of a man <H0120> deferreth <H0748> his anger; <H0639> and [it is] his glory <H8597> to pass <H5674> over a transgression. <H6588>
12
The king's <H4428> wrath <H2197> [is] as the roaring <H5099> of a lion; <H3715> but his favour <H7522> [is] as dew <H2919> upon the grass. <H6212>
13
A foolish <H3684> son <H1121> [is] the calamity <H1942> of his father: <H0001> and the contentions <H4079> of a wife <H0802> [are] a continual <H2956> dropping. <H1812>
14
House <H1004> and riches <H1952> [are] the inheritance <H5159> of fathers: <H0001> and a prudent <H7919> wife <H0802> [is] from the LORD. <H3068>
15
Slothfulness <H6103> casteth <H5307> into a deep sleep; <H8639> and an idle <H7423> soul <H5315> shall suffer hunger. <H7456>
16
He that keepeth <H8104> the commandment <H4687> keepeth <H8104> his own soul; <H5315> [but] he that despiseth <H0959> his ways <H1870> shall die. <H4191>
17
He that hath pity <H2603> upon the poor <H1800> lendeth <H3867> unto the LORD; <H3068> and that which he hath given <H1576> will he pay <H7999> him again.
18
Chasten <H3256> thy son <H1121> while there is <H3426> hope, <H8615> and let not thy soul <H5315> spare <H5375> for his crying. <H4191>
19
A man of great <H1419> <H1632> wrath <H2534> shall suffer <H5375> punishment: <H6066> for if thou deliver <H5337> [him], yet thou must do it again. <H3254>
20
Hear <H8085> counsel, <H6098> and receive <H6901> instruction, <H4148> that thou mayest be wise <H2449> in thy latter end. <H0319>
21
[There are] many <H7227> devices <H4284> in a man's <H0376> heart; <H3820> nevertheless the counsel <H6098> of the LORD, <H3068> that shall stand. <H6965>
22
The desire <H8378> of a man <H0120> [is] his kindness: <H2617> and a poor <H7326> man [is] better <H2896> than <H0376> a liar. <H3577>
23
The fear <H3374> of the LORD <H3068> [tendeth] to life: <H2416> and [he that hath it] shall abide <H3885> satisfied; <H7649> he shall not be visited <H6485> with evil. <H7451>
24
A slothful <H6102> [man] hideth <H2934> his hand <H3027> in [his] bosom, <H6747> and will not so much as bring it to his mouth <H6310> again. <H7725>
25
Smite <H5221> a scorner, <H3887> and the simple <H6612> will beware: <H6191> and reprove <H3198> one that hath understanding, <H0995> [and] he will understand <H0995> knowledge. <H1847>
26
He that wasteth <H7703> [his] father, <H0001> [and] chaseth away <H1272> [his] mother, <H0517> [is] a son <H1121> that causeth shame, <H0954> and bringeth reproach. <H2659>
27
Cease, <H2308> my son, <H1121> to hear <H8085> the instruction <H4148> [that causeth] to err <H7686> from the words <H0561> of knowledge. <H1847>
28
An ungodly <H1100> witness <H5707> scorneth <H3887> judgment: <H4941> and the mouth <H6310> of the wicked <H7563> devoureth <H1104> iniquity. <H0205>
29
Judgments <H8201> are prepared <H3559> for scorners, <H3887> and stripes <H4112> for the back <H1460> of fools. <H3684>
