H2896
Better
H7326 [H8802]
is the poor
H1980 [H8802]
that walketh
H8537
in his integrity,
H6141
than he that is perverse
H8193
in his lips,
H3684
and is a fool.
2
H5315
Also, that the breath
H1847
be without knowledge,
H2896
it is not good;
H213 [H8801]
and he that hasteth
H7272
with his feet
H2398 [H8802]
sinneth.
3
H200
The foolishness
H120
of man
H5557 [H8762]
perverteth
H1870
his way:
H3820
and his heart
H2196 [H8799]
boileth
H3068
against the LORD.
4
H1952
Wealth
H3254 [H8686]
maketh
H7227
many
H7453
friends;
H1800
but the poor
H6504 [H8735]
is separated
H7453
from his neighbour.
5
H8267
A false
H5707
witness
H5352 [H8735]
shall not be unpunished,
H6315 [H8686]
and he that speaketh
H3577
lies
H4422 [H8735]
shall not escape.
6
H7227
Many
H2470 [H8762]
will entreat
H6440
the face
H5081
of the prince:
H7453
and every man is a friend
H376
to him
H4976
that giveth gifts.
7
H251
All the brethren
H7326 [H8802]
of the poor
H8130 [H8804]
do hate
H4828
him: how much more do his friends
H7368 [H8804]
go far
H7291 [H8764]
from him? he pursueth
H561
them with words, yet they are gone.
8
H7069 [H8802]
He that getteth
H3820
heart
H157 [H8802]
loveth
H5315
his own breath:
H8104 [H8802]
he that keepeth
H8394
understanding
H4672 [H8800]
shall find
H2896
good.
9
H8267
A false
H5707
witness
H5352 [H8735]
shall not be unpunished,
H6315 [H8686]
and he that speaketh
H3577
lies
H6 [H8799]
shall perish.
10
H8588
Delight
H5000
is not proper
H3684
for a fool;
H5650
much less for a servant
H4910 [H8800]
to have rule
H8269
over princes.
11
H7922
The discretion
H120
of a man
H748 [H8689]
deferreth
H639
his anger;
H8597
and it is his glory
H5674 [H8800]
to pass over
H6588
a revolt.
12
H4428
The king's
H2197
wrath
H5099
is as the roaring
H3715
of a lion;
H7522
but his delight
H2919
is as dew
H6212
upon the grass.
13
H3684
A foolish
H1121
son
H1942
is the engulfing ruin
H1
of his father:
H4079
and the contentions
H802
of a wife
H2956 [H8802]
are a continual
H1812
dropping.
14
H1004
House
H1952
and riches
H5159
are the inheritance
H1
of fathers:
H7919 [H8688]
and a prudent
H802
wife
H3068
is from the LORD.
15
H6103
Slothfulness
H5307 [H8686]
casteth
H8639
into a deep sleep;
H7423
and an idle
H5315
breath
H7456 [H8799]
shall suffer hunger.
16
H8104 [H8802]
He that keepeth
H4687
the commandment
H8104 [H8802]
keepeth
H5315
his own breath;
H959 [H8802]
but he that despiseth
H1870
his ways
H4191 [H8799]
shall die.
17
H2603 [H8802]
He that hath favour
H1800
upon the poor
H3867 [H8688]
lendeth
H3068
to the LORD;
H1576
and that which he hath given
H7999 [H8762]
will he pay him again.
18
H3256 [H8761]
Chasten
H1121
thy son
H3426
while there is
H8615
hope,
H5315
and let not thy breath
H5375 [H8799]
spare
H4191 [H8687]
for his crying.
19
H1419
A man
H1632
of great
H2534
hot anger
H5375 [H8802]
shall suffer
H6066
punishment:
H5337 [H8686]
for if thou deliver
H3254 [H8686]
him, yet thou must do it again.
20
H8085 [H8798]
Hear
H6098
counsel,
H6901 [H8761]
and receive
H4148
instruction,
H2449 [H8799]
that thou mayest be wise
H319
in thy latter end.
21
H7227
There are many
H4284
devices
H376
in a man's
H3820
heart;
H6098
nevertheless the counsel
H3068
of the LORD,
H6965 [H8799]
that shall stand.
22
H8378
The desire
H120
of a man
H2617
is his mercy:
H7326 [H8802]
and a poor man
H2896
is better
H376
than
H3577
a liar.
23
H3374
The fear
H3068
of the LORD
H2416
tendeth to life:
H3885 [H8799]
and he that hath it shall abide
H7649
satisfied;
H6485 [H8735]
he shall not be visited
H7451
with evil.
24
H6102
A slothful
H2934 [H8804]
man hideth
H3027
his hand
H6747
in his bosom,
H7725 0
and will not so much as bring
H6310
it to his mouth
H7725 [H8686]
again.
25
H5221 [H8686]
Smite
H3887 [H8801]
a scorner,
H6612
and the simple
H6191 [H8686]
will beware:
H3198 [H8689]
and reprove
H995 [H8737]
one that hath understanding,
H995 [H8799]
and he will understand
H1847
knowledge.
26
H7703 [H8764]
He that wasteth
H1
his father,
H1272 [H8686]
and chaseth away
H517
his mother,
H1121
is a son
H954 [H8688]
that causeth shame
H2659 [H8688]
and blushing.
27
H2308 [H8798]
Cease,
H1121
my son,
H8085 [H8800]
to hear
H4148
the instruction
H7686 [H8800]
that causeth to stray
H561
from the words
H1847
of knowledge.
