A agentle answer
turns
away
wrath
, But a 1 bharsh
word
stirs
up anger
.
The atongue of the wise
makes
knowledge
1acceptable
, But the bmouth
of fools
spouts
folly
.
The aeyes of the LORD
are in every
place
, Watching
the evil
and the good
.
A 1soothing tongue
is a tree
of life
, But perversion
in it 2crushes
the spirit
.
A fool 1rejects
his father's
discipline
, But he who regards
reproof
is sensible
.
Great wealth
is in the house
of the arighteous
, But trouble
is in the income
of the wicked
.
The lips of the wise
spread
knowledge
, But the hearts
of fools
are not so
.
The asacrifice of the wicked
is an abomination
to the LORD
, But bthe prayer
of the upright
is His delight
.
The way of the wicked
is an abomination
to the LORD
, But He loves
one who apursues
righteousness
.
Grievous punishment
is for him who forsakes
the way
; He who hates
reproof
will die
.
1 aSheol and 2Abaddon
lie open before
the LORD
, How
much
more
the bhearts
of 3men
!
A ascoffer does not love
one who reproves
him, He will not go
to the wise
.
A ajoyful heart
makes
a 1cheerful
face
, But 2when the heart
is bsad
, the cspirit
is broken
.
The amind of the intelligent
seeks
knowledge
, But the mouth
of fools
feeds
on folly
.
All the days
of the afflicted
are bad
, But a 1cheerful
heart
has a continual
feast
.
aBetter is a little
with the 1fear
of the LORD
Than
great
treasure
and turmoil
with it.
aBetter is a 1dish
of 2vegetables
where
love
is Than
a bfattened
ox
served with hatred
.
A ahot-tempered man
stirs
up strife
, But the bslow
to anger
ccalms
a dispute
.
The way of the lazy
is as a hedge
of thorns
, But the path
of the upright
is a highway
.
A awise son
makes
a father
glad
, But a foolish
man
bdespises
his mother
.
Folly is joy
to him who
lacks
1sense
, But a man
of understanding
awalks
straight
.
Without consultation
, plans
are frustrated
, But with many
counselors
they 1succeed
.
A aman has joy
in an 1apt
answer
, And how
delightful
is a timely
bword
!
The apath of life
leads upward
for the wise
That he may keep
away
from 1Sheol
below
.
The LORD will atear
down
the house
of the proud
, But He will bestablish
the boundary
of the cwidow
.
Evil plans
are an abomination
to the LORD
, But pleasant
words
are pure
.
He who aprofits illicitly
troubles
his own house
, But he who bhates
bribes
will live
.
The heart of the righteous
aponders
how to answer
, But the bmouth
of the wicked
pours
out evil
things
.
The LORD is afar
from the wicked
, But He bhears
the prayer
of the righteous
.
1Bright eyes
gladden
the heart
; Good
news
puts
fat
on the bones
.
He whose ear listens
to the life-giving
reproof
Will dwell
among
the wise
.
He who aneglects discipline
bdespises
himself
, But he who clistens
to reproof
acquires
1understanding
.
The 1fear of the LORD
is the instruction
for wisdom
, And before
honor
comes humility
.
