20:012:016 A fool’s wrath is presently known:
but a prudent man covereth
shame.
20:012:017 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness:
but a
false
witness deceit.
20:012:018 There is that speaketh like the piercings
of a sword: but the
tongue
of the wise is health.
20:012:019 The lip of truth shall be established for
ever: but a lying
tongue
is but for a moment.
20:012:020 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine
evil: but to the
counsellors
of peace is joy.
20:012:021 There shall no evil happen to the just:
but the wicked shall
be
filled with mischief.
20:012:022 Lying lips are abomination to the lord:
but they that deal
truly
are his delight.
20:012:023 A prudent man concealeth knowledge:
but the heart of fools
proclaimeth
foolishness.
20:012:024 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
but the slothful
shall
be under tribute.
20:012:025 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it
stoop: but a good word
maketh
it glad.
20:012:026 The righteous is more excellent than his
neighbour: but the
way
of the wicked seduceth them.
20:012:027 The slothful man roasteth not that which
he took in hunting:
but
the substance of a diligent man is precious.
20:012:028 In the way of righteousness is life:
and in the pathway
thereof
there is no death.
20:013:001 A wise son heareth his father’s instruction:
but a scorner
heareth
not rebuke.
20:013:002 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his
mouth: but the soul
of
the transgressors shall eat violence.
20:013:003 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
but he that
openeth
wide his lips shall have destruction.
20:013:004 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and
hath nothing: but the
soul
of the diligent shall be made fat.
20:013:005 A righteous man hateth lying: but
a wicked man is loathsome,
and
cometh to shame.
20:013:006 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright
in the way: but
wickedness
overthroweth the sinner.
20:013:007 There is that maketh himself rich, yet
hath nothing: there is
that
maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
20:013:008 The ransom of a man’s life are his
riches: but the poor
heareth
not rebuke.
20:013:009 The light of the righteous rejoiceth:
but the lamp of the
wicked
shall be put out.
20:013:010 Only by pride cometh contention: but
with the well advised is
wisdom.
20:013:011 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:
but he that
gathereth
by labour shall increase.
