Part 13

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.

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.
