Part 22

20:021:003 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

20:021:004 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

20:021:005 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

20:021:006 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

20:021:007 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

20:021:008 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

20:021:009 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

20:021:010 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

20:021:011 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

20:021:012 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

20:021:013 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

20:021:014 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

20:021:015 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

20:021:016 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

20:021:017 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

20:021:018 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

20:021:019 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

20:021:020 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

20:021:021 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

20:021:022 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

20:021:023 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

20:021:024 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

20:021:025 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

20:021:026 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

20:021:027 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

20:021:028 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

20:021:029 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.

20:021:030 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
