  2 G3756 [4no G5532 5need G2192 3has G4678 6for wisdom G1729 1One lacking G5424 2of sense]; G3123 for rather G1063   G71 he is led G877 by folly.
  3 G3752 Whenever G2064 [2should come G765 1 the impious] G1519 into G899 a depth G2556 of evils, G2706 he pays no attention, G1904 and there comes upon G1161   G1473 him G819 dishonor G2532 and G3681 scorn.
  4 G5204 [6water G901 5 is deep G3056 1A word G1722 2in G2588 3 the heart G435 4of a man]; G4215 and a river G1161   G375.2 [4jump up G2532 1and G4077 2a spring G2222 3of life].
  5 G2296 To admire G4383 the face G765 of the impious G3756 is not G2570 good; G3761 nor G3741 is it sacred G1578 to turn aside G3588 the G1342 just G1722 in G2920 a judgment.
  6 G5491 Lips G878 of a fool G71 lead G1473 him G1519 into G2556 evils; G3588   G1161 and G4750 [3mouth G1473 1his G3588   G2351.3 2bold G2288 5death G1941 4calls unto].
  7 G4750 The mouth G878 of a fool G4936.1 is destruction G1473 to him; G3588   G1161 and G5491 his lips G1473   G3803 are a snare G3588   G5590 for his soul. G1473  
  8 G3636 The lazy G2598 are thrown down G5401 by fear; G5590 and the souls G1161   G407.1 of effeminate ones G3983 shall hunger.
  9 G3588 The one G3361 not G2390 repairing G1438 himself G1722 by G3588   G2041 his works G1473   G80 is brother G1510.2.3   G3588 of the one G3075 laying himself waste. G1438  
  10 G1537 [3 is of G3172 4great G2479 5strength G3686 1 The name G2962 2 of the lord]; G1473 [5to it G1161 1and G4370 4running up G1342 2 the just G5312 3are raised up high].
  11 G5223 The substance G4145 of a rich G435 man G4172 [2city G3793.1 1is a fortified]; G3588   G1161 and G1391 its glory G1473   G3173 [2greatly G1982 1overshadows].
  12 G4253 Before G4936.1 destruction G5312 [3is raised up high G2588 1 the heart G435 2of a man], G2532 and G4253 before G1391 glory G5013 it is humbled.
  13 G3739 The one who G611 answers G3056 a word G4250 before G191 hearing the matter, G877 [2folly G1473 5to him G1510.2.3 1it is G2532 3and G3681 4scorn].

  15 G2588 The heart G5429 of an intelligent man G2932 acquires G144 perception; G3775 and ears G1161   G4680 of the wise G2212 seek G1771 insight.
  16 G1390 A gift G444 of a man G1706.2 widens G1473 him; G2532 and G3844 [3by G1413 4monarchs G2522.2 1sits G1473 2him].
  17 G1342 A just man, G1438 [2of himself G2725 1 is an accuser] G1722 at G4411.1 the beginning of speaking; G5613 but when G1161   G302 ever G1911 [3demands attention G3588 1the G476 2opponent] G1651 he is reproved.
  18 G485 [3disputes G3973 2ceases G2819 1 The lot], G1722 and among G1161   G1413 the monarchs G3724 it defines the bounds.
  19 G80 A brother G5259 [2by G80 3a brother G997 1being helped] G5613 is as G4172 [4city G3793.1 3fortified G2532 2and G5308 1a high]; G2480 and is strong G1161   G5618 as G2311 a well founded G933 palace.
  20 G575 From G2590 fruits G4750 of the mouth G435 a man G4130 fills G2836 his belly; G1473   G575 and from G1161   G2590 fruits G5491 of his lips G1473   G1705 he shall be filled up.
  21 G2288 Death G2532 and G2222 life G1722 are in G5495 the handle G1100 of the tongue; G3588 and the ones G1161   G2902 holding G1473 it G2068 shall eat G3588   G2590 of its fruits. G1473  
  22 G3739 The one who G2147 found G1135 [2wife G18 1a good], G2147 found G5484 favors; G2983 and he received G1161   G3844 [2from G2962 3 the lord G2432 1happiness]. G3739 The one who G1544 casts out G1135 [2woman G18 1a good], G1544 casts out G3588   G18 good things; G3588 but the one G1161   G2722 holding on to G3428 an adulteress G878 is foolish G2532 and G765 impious.
  23 G1162 [3of supplications G5350 2utter sounds G3993 1 The needy]; G3588 but the G1161   G4145 rich G611 man responds G4642 harsh.
  24 G435 A man G2083 having friends G4314 is for G2082.3 friendship; G2532 and G1510.2.3 there is G5384 a friend G4347 cleaving to G5228 over G80 a brother.

  2 H3684 A fool H2654 hath no delight [H8799]   H8394 in understanding H3820 , but that his heart H1540 may discover [H8692]   itself.
  3 H7563 When the wicked H935 cometh [H8800]   H935 , then cometh [H8804]   H937 also contempt H7036 , and with ignominy H2781 reproach.
  4 H1697 The words H376 of a man's H6310 mouth H6013 are as deep H4325 waters H4726 , and the wellspring H2451 of wisdom H5042 as a flowing [H8802]   H5158 brook.
  5 H2896 It is not good H5375 to accept [H8800]   H6440 the person H7563 of the wicked H5186 , to overthrow [H8687]   H6662 the righteous H4941 in judgment.
  6 H3684 A fool's H8193 lips H935 enter [H8799]   H7379 into contention H6310 , and his mouth H7121 calleth [H8799]   H4112 for strokes.
  7 H3684 A fool's H6310 mouth H4288 is his destruction H8193 , and his lips H4170 are the snare H5315 of his soul.
  8 H1697 The words H5372 of a talebearer H3859 are as wounds [H8693]   H3381 , and they go down [H8804]   H2315 into the innermost parts H990 of the belly.
  9 H7503 He also that is slothful [H8693]   H4399 in his work H251 is brother H1167 to him that is a great H7843 waster [H8688]  .
  10 H8034 The name H3068 of the LORD H5797 is a strong H4026 tower H6662 : the righteous H7323 runneth [H8799]   H7682 into it, and is safe [H8738]  .
  11 H6223 The rich man's H1952 wealth H5797 is his strong H7151 city H7682 , and as an high [H8737]   H2346 wall H4906 in his own conceit.
  12 H6440 Before H7667 destruction H3820 the heart H376 of man H1361 is haughty [H8799]   H6440 , and before H3519 honour H6038 is humility.
  13 H7725 He that answereth [H8688]   H1697 a matter H8085 before he heareth [H8799]   H200 it, it is folly H3639 and shame unto him.
  14 H7307 The spirit H376 of a man H3557 will sustain [H8770]   H4245 his infirmity H5218 ; but a wounded H7307 spirit H5375 who can bear [H8799]  ?
  15 H3820 The heart H995 of the prudent [H8737]   H7069 getteth [H8799]   H1847 knowledge H241 ; and the ear H2450 of the wise H1245 seeketh [H8762]   H1847 knowledge.
  16 H120 A man's H4976 gift H7337 maketh room [H8686]   H5148 for him, and bringeth [H8686]   H6440 him before H1419 great men.
  17 H7223 He that is first H7379 in his own cause H6662 seemeth just H7453 ; but his neighbour H935 cometh [H8804]   [H8675]   H935   [H8799]   H2713 and searcheth [H8804]   him.
  18 H1486 The lot H4079 causeth contentions H7673 to cease [H8686]   H6504 , and parteth [H8686]   H6099 between the mighty.
  19 H251 A brother H6586 offended [H8737]   H5797 is harder to be won than a strong H7151 city H4079 : and their contentions [H8675]   H4066   H1280 are like the bars H759 of a castle.
  20 H376 A man's H990 belly H7646 shall be satisfied [H8799]   H6529 with the fruit H6310 of his mouth H8393 ; and with the increase H8193 of his lips H7646 shall he be filled [H8799]  .
  21 H4194 Death H2416 and life H3027 are in the power H3956 of the tongue H157 : and they that love [H8802]   H398 it shall eat [H8799]   H6529 the fruit thereof.
  22 H4672 Whoso findeth [H8804]   H802 a wife H4672 findeth [H8804]   H2896 a good H6329 thing, and obtaineth [H8686]   H7522 favour H3068 of the LORD.
  23 H7326 The poor [H8802]   H1696 useth [H8762]   H8469 intreaties H6223 ; but the rich H6030 answereth [H8799]   H5794 roughly.
  24 H376 A man H7453 that hath friends H7489 must shew himself friendly [H8710]   H3426 : and there is H157 a friend [H8802]   H1695 that sticketh closer H251 than a brother.
ERV(i) 1 He that separateth himself seeketh [his own] desire, and rageth against all sound wisdom. 2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself. 3 When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy cometh reproach. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters; the wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook. 5 To accept the person of the wicked is not good, [nor] to turn aside the righteous in judgment. 6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes. 7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. 8 The words of a whisperer are as dainty, morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 9 He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer. 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. 11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own imagination. 12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [goeth] humility. 13 He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him. 14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear? 15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. 16 A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. 17 He that pleadeth his cause first [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out. 18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. 19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [such] contentions are like the bars of a castle. 20 A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. 23 The poor useth entreaties: but the rich answereth roughly. 24 He that maketh many friends [doeth it] to his own destruction: but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
