BibleText:
1 Every wise woman builds up her home: but the foolish one tears it down with her hands. 2 He that walks in his uprightness fears the LORD [Yahweh]: but [he that is] perverse in his ways despises him. 3 In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise will preserve them. 4 Where no oxen [are], the crib [is] clean: but much increase [is] by the strength of the ox. 5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. 6 A scoffer seeks wisdom, and [finds it] not: but knowledge [is] easy to him that understands. 7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you observe not [in him] the lips of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way: but the folly of fools [is] deceit. 9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous [there is] favor. 10 The heart knows its own bitterness; and a stranger does not interfere with its joy. 11 The house of the wicked will be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright will flourish. 12 There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it [are] the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth [is] heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways: and a good man [will be satisfied] from himself. 15 The simple believes every word: but the prudent [man] considers well his paths. 16 A wise [man] fears, and departs from evil: but the fool rages, and is confident. 17 [He that is] soon angry deals foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor is hated even by his own neighbor: but the rich [has] many friends. 21 He that despises his neighbor sins: but he that has mercy on the poor, happy [is] he. 22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth [will be] to those that devise good. 23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tends] only to poverty. 24 The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the foolishness of fools [is] folly. 25 A true witness delivers souls: but a deceitful [witness] speaks lies. 26 In the fear of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] strong confidence: and his children will have a place of refuge. 27 The fear of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. 28 In the multitude of people [is] the king's honor: but in the lack of people [is] the destruction of the prince. 29 [He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding: but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalts folly. 30 A sound heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. 31 He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker: but he that honors him has mercy on the poor. 32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous has hope in his death. 33 Wisdom rests in the heart of him that has understanding: but [that which is] in the midst of fools is made known. 34 Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people. 35 The king's favor [is] toward a wise servant: but his wrath is [against] him that causes shame.
