20:013:012 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:
but when the desire
cometh,
it is a tree of life.
20:013:013 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed:
but he that
feareth
the commandment shall be rewarded.
20:013:014 The law of the wise is a fountain of life,
to depart from the
snares
of death.
20:013:015 Good understanding giveth favour:
but the way of transgressors
is
hard.
20:013:016 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge:
but a fool layeth
open
his folly.
20:013:017 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief:
but a faithful
ambassador
is health.
20:013:018 Poverty and shame shall be to him that
refuseth instruction:
but
he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
20:013:019 The desire accomplished is sweet to the
soul: but it is
abomination
to fools to depart from evil.
20:013:020 He that walketh with wise men shall be
wise: but a companion
of
fools shall be destroyed.
20:013:021 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the
righteous good shall be
repayed.
20:013:022 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his
children’s children:
and
the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
20:013:023 Much food is in the tillage of the poor:
but there is that is
destroyed
for want of judgment.
20:013:024 He that spareth his rod hateth his son:
but he that loveth him
chasteneth
him betimes.
20:013:025 The righteous eateth to the satisfying
of his soul: but the
belly
of the wicked shall want.
20:014:001 Every wise woman buildeth her house:
but the foolish plucketh
it
down with her hands.
20:014:002 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth
the lord: but he
that
is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
20:014:003 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of
pride: but the lips of
the
wise shall preserve them.
20:014:004 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean:
but much increase is by
the
strength of the ox.
20:014:005 A faithful witness will not lie: but
a false witness will
utter
lies.
20:014:006 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it
not: but knowledge is
easy
unto him that understandeth.
20:014:007 Go from the presence of a foolish man,
when thou perceivest
not
in him the lips of knowledge.
20:014:008 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand
his way: but the
folly
of fools is deceit.
20:014:009 Fools make a mock at sin: but among
the righteous there is
favour.
20:014:010 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and
a stranger doth not
intermeddle
with his joy.
