1 A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge correctly: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness. 3 The eyes of the LORD [Yahweh] [are] in every place, observing the evil and the good. 4 A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness in it [is] a breach in the spirit. 5 A fool despises his father's instruction: but he that regards reproof is prudent. 6 In the house of the righteous [is] much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish [does] not so. 8 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD [Yahweh]: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight. 9 The way of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD [Yahweh]: but he loves him that follows after righteousness. 10 Correction [is] grievous to him that forsakes the way: [and] he that hates reproof will die. 11 Hell and destruction [are] before the LORD [Yahweh]: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? 12 A scoffer loves not one that reproves him: neither will he go to the wise. 13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 14 The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness. 15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [has] a continual feast. 16 Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD [Yahweh] than great treasure and trouble with it. 17 Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it. 18 A wrathful man stirs up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeases strife. 19 The way of the slothful [man is] as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain. 20 A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish man despises his mother. 21 Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly. 22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established. 23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]! 24 The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. 25 The LORD [Yahweh] will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. 26 The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD [Yahweh]: but [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words. 27 He that is greedy of gain troubles his own house; but he that hates gifts will live. 28 The heart of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. 29 The LORD [Yahweh] [is] far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: [and] a good report makes the bones fat. 31 The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise. 32 He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] the instruction of wisdom; and before honor [is] humility.
