Part 15

20:014:019 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20:014:020 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

20:014:021 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

20:014:022 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

20:014:023 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

20:014:024 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

20:014:025 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

20:014:026 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

20:014:027 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

20:014:028 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

20:014:029 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

20:014:030 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

20:014:031 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

20:014:032 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

20:014:033 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

20:014:034 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

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?
