Part 14

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.

20:014:011 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

20:014:012 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

20:014:013 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

20:014:014 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

20:014:015 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

20:014:016 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

20:014:017 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

20:014:018 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
