1A soft answer turneth away wrath:
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
3The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
5A fool despiseth his father’s instruction:
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord:
9The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord:
10Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way:
11Hell and destruction are before the Lord:
12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:
15All the days of the afflicted are evil:
16Better is little with the fear of the Lord
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
18A wrathful man stirreth up strife:
19The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns:
20A wise son maketh a glad father:
21Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom:
22Without counsel purposes are disappointed:
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:
24The way of life is above to the wise,
25The Lord will destroy the house of the proud:
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord:
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
29The Lord is far from the wicked:
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart:
31The ear that heareth the reproof of life
32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul:
33The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom;
