20:014:035 The king’s favour is toward a wise
servant: but his wrath is
against
him that causeth shame.
20:015:001 A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up
anger.
20:015:002 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge
aright: but the mouth
of
fools poureth out foolishness.
20:015:003 The eyes of the lord are in every
place, beholding the evil
and
the good.
20:015:004 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
but perverseness therein
is
a breach in the spirit.
20:015:005 A fool despiseth his father’s instruction:
but he that
regardeth
reproof is prudent.
20:015:006 In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
but in the
revenues
of the wicked is trouble.
20:015:007 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:
but the heart of the
foolish
doeth not so.
20:015:008 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination
to the lord: but
the
prayer of the upright is his delight.
20:015:009 The way of the wicked is an abomination
unto the lord: but he
loveth
him that followeth after righteousness.
20:015:010 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh
the way: and he
that
hateth reproof shall die.
20:015:011 Hell and destruction are before the lord:
how much more then
the
hearts of the children of men?
20:015:012 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth
him: neither will he
go
unto the wise.
20:015:013 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
but by sorrow of
the
heart the spirit is broken.
20:015:014 The heart of him that hath understanding
seeketh knowledge:
but
the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
20:015:015 All the days of the afflicted are evil:
but he that is of a
merry
heart hath a continual feast.
20:015:016 Better is little with the fear of the lord
than great treasure
and
trouble therewith.
20:015:017 Better is a dinner of herbs where love
is, than a stalled ox
and
hatred therewith.
20:015:018 A wrathful man stirreth up strife:
but he that is slow to
anger
appeaseth strife.
20:015:019 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge
of thorns: but the
way
of the righteous is made plain.
20:015:020 A wise son maketh a glad father: but
a foolish man despiseth
his
mother.
20:015:021 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of
wisdom: but a man of
understanding
walketh uprightly.
20:015:022 Without counsel purposes are disappointed:
but in the
multitude
of counsellors they are established.
