The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000.
|
| 1 |
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,
| | |
than a house full of sacrifices with strife. |
|
|
| 2 |
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame,
| | |
and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. |
|
|
| 3 |
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:
| | |
but the LORD trieth the hearts. |
|
|
| 4 |
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
| | |
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. |
|
|
| 5 |
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:
| | |
and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. |
|
|
| 6 |
Children’s children are the crown of old men;
| | |
and the glory of children are their fathers. |
|
|
| 7 |
Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
| | |
much less do lying lips a prince. |
|
|
| 8 |
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
| | |
whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. |
|
|
| 9 |
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
| | |
but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. |
|
|
| 10 |
A reproof entereth more into a wise man
| | |
than a hundred stripes into a fool. |
|
|
| 11 |
An evil man seeketh only rebellion:
| | |
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. |
|
|
| 12 |
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,
| | |
rather than a fool in his folly. |
|
|
| 13 |
Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
| | |
evil shall not depart from his house. |
|
|
| 14 |
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:
| | |
therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. |
|
|
| 15 |
He that justifieth the wicked,
| | |
and he that condemneth the just, |
|
even they both are abomination to the LORD. |
|
|
| 16 |
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,
| | |
seeing he hath no heart to it? |
|
|
| 17 |
A friend loveth at all times,
| | |
and a brother is born for adversity. |
|
|
| 18 |
A man void of understanding striketh hands,
| | |
and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. |
|
|
| 19 |
He loveth transgression that loveth strife:
| | |
and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. |
|
|
| 20 |
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:
| | |
and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. |
|
|
| 21 |
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:
| | |
and the father of a fool hath no joy. |
|
|
| 22 |
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
| | |
but a broken spirit drieth the bones. |
|
|
| 23 |
A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom
| | |
to pervert the ways of judgment. |
|
|
| 24 |
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
| | |
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. |
|
|
| 25 |
A foolish son is a grief to his father,
| | |
and bitterness to her that bare him. |
|
|
| 26 |
Also to punish the just is not good
| | |
nor to strike princes for equity. |
|
|
| 27 |
He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
| | |
and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. |
|
|
| 28 |
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
| | |
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. |
