1 A wise son heareth his father's in­struc­tion: but a scorner heareth not re­buke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the trans­gres­sors shall eat vi­o­lence.
3 He that keep­eth his mouth keep­eth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have de­struc­tion.
4 The soul of the slug­gard de­sireth, and hath noth­ing: but the soul of the dili­gent shall be made fat.
5 A righ­teous man hateth ly­ing: but a wicked man is loath­some, and cometh to shame.
6 Righ­teous­ness keep­eth him that is up­right in the way: but wicked­ness over­throweth the sin­ner.
7 There is that maketh him­self rich, yet hath noth­ing: there is that maketh him­self poor, yet hath great rich­es.
8 The ran­som of a man's life are his rich­es: but the poor heareth not re­buke.
9 The light of the righ­teous re­joiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Only by pride cometh con­tention: but with the well ad­vised is wis­dom.
11 Wealth gotten by van­i­ty shall be di­min­ished: but he that gath­ereth by labour shall in­crease.
12 Hope de­ferred maketh the heart sick: but when the de­sire cometh, it is a tree of life.
13 Whoso de­spiseth the word shall be de­stroyed: but he that feareth the com­mand­ment shall be re­ward­ed.
14 The law of the wise is a foun­tain of life, to de­part from the snares of death.
15 Good un­der­stand­ing giveth favour: but the way of trans­gres­sors is hard.
16 Ev­ery pru­dent man dealeth with knowl­edge: but a fool layeth open his fol­ly.
17 A wicked mes­sen­ger fal­l­eth into mis­chief: but a faith­ful am­bas­sador is health.
18 Pover­ty and shame shall be to him that re­fuseth in­struc­tion: but he that re­gardeth re­proof shall be hon­oured.
19 The de­sire ac­com­plished is sweet to the soul: but it is abom­i­na­tion to fools to de­part from evil.
20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a com­pan­ion of fools shall be de­stroyed.
21 Evil pur­sueth sin­ners: but to the righ­teous good shall be re­payed.
22 A good man leaveth an in­her­i­tance to his children's chil­dren: and the wealth of the sin­ner is laid up for the just.
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is de­stroyed for want of judg­ment.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chas­teneth him be­times.
25 The righ­teous eateth to the sat­is­fy­ing of his soul: but the bel­ly of the wicked shall want.
