Whoso loveth
<0157> (8802)

instruction
<04148>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

[is] brutish
<01198>_.

Proverbs 10:1-32

10:1

The proverbs
<04912>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

A wise
<02450>

son
<01121>

maketh a glad
<08055> (8762)

father
<01>_:

but a foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] the heaviness
<08424>

of his mother
<0517>_.

10:2

Treasures
<0214>

of wickedness
<07562>

profit
<03276> (8686)

nothing: but righteousness
<06666>

delivereth

from death
<04194>_.

The LORD
<03068>

will not suffer
<07456> (0)

the soul
<05315>

of the righteous
<06662>

to famish
<07456> (8686)_:

but he casteth away
<01920> (8799)

the substance
<01942>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

{the substance...: or, the wicked for their wickedness}

10:4

<07326> (8802)

that dealeth
<06213> (8802)

[with] a slack

but the hand
<03027>

of the diligent
<02742>

maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_.

10:5

He that gathereth
<0103> (8802)

in summer
<07019>

[is] a wise
<07919> (8688)

son
<01121>_:

[but] he that sleepeth
<07290> (8737)

in harvest
<07105>

[is] a son
<01121>

that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_.

10:6

Blessings
<01293>

[are] upon the head
<07218>

of the just
<06662>_:

but violence
<02555>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

10:7

The memory
<02143>

of the just
<06662>

[is] blessed
<01293>_:

but the name
<08034>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall rot
<07537> (8799)_.

10:8

The wise
<02450>

in heart
<03820>

will receive
<03947> (8799)

commandments
<04687>_:

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{a prating...: Heb. a fool of lips} {fall: Heb. be beaten}

10:9

He that walketh
<03212> (8799)

uprightly
<08537>

walketh
<01980> (8802)

surely
<0983>_:

but he that perverteth
<06140> (8764)

his ways
<01870>

shall be known
<03045> (8735)_.

10:10

He that winketh
<07169> (8802)

with the eye
<05869>

causeth
<05414> (8799)

sorrow
<06094>_:

but a prating
<08193>

fool
<0191>

shall fall
<03832> (8735)_.

{fall: Heb. be beaten}

10:11

The mouth
<06310>

of a righteous
<06662>

[man is] a well
<04726>

of life
<02416>_:

but violence
<02555>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

10:12

Hatred
<08135>

stirreth up
<05782> (8787)

strifes
<04090>_:

but love
<0160>

covereth
<03680> (8762)

all sins
<06588>_.

10:13

In the lips
<08193>

of him that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)

wisdom
<02451>

is found
<04672> (8735)_:

but a rod
<07626>

[is] for the back
<01460>

of him that is void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_.

{of understanding: Heb. of heart}

10:14

Wise
<02450>

[men] lay up
<06845> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the foolish
<0191>

[is] near
<07138>

destruction
<04288>_.

10:15

The rich man's
<06223>

wealth
<01952>

[is] his strong
<05797>

city
<07151>_:

the destruction
<04288>

of the poor
<01800>

[is] their poverty
<07389>_.

10:16

The labour
<06468>

of the righteous
<06662>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

the fruit
<08393>

of the wicked
<07563>

to sin
<02403>_.

10:17

He [is in] the way
<0734>

of life
<02416>

that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

instruction
<04148>_:

but he that refuseth
<05800> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

erreth
<08582> (8688)_.

{erreth: or, causeth to err}

10:18

He that hideth
<03680> (8764)

hatred
<08135>

[with] lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>_,

and he that uttereth
<03318> (8688)

a slander
<01681>_,

[is] a fool
<03684>_.

10:19

In the multitude
<07230>

of words
<01697>

there wanteth
<02308> (8799)

not sin
<06588>_:

but he that refraineth
<02820> (8802)

his lips
<08193>

[is] wise
<07919> (8688)_.

10:20

The tongue
<03956>

of the just
<06662>

[is as] choice
<0977> (8737)

silver
<03701>_:

the heart
<03820>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] little worth
<04592>_.

10:21

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

feed
<07462> (8799)

many
<07227>_:

but fools
<0191>

die
<04191> (8799)

for want
<02638>

of wisdom
<03820>_.

{of wisdom: Heb. of heart}

10:22

The blessing
<01293>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

it maketh rich
<06238> (8686)_,

and he addeth
<03254> (8686)

no sorrow
<06089>

with it.

10:23

[It is] as sport
<07814>

to a fool
<03684>

to do
<06213> (8800)

mischief
<02154>_:

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

hath wisdom
<02451>_.

10:24

The fear
<04034>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

it shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon him: but the desire
<08378>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall be granted
<05414> (8799)_.

10:25

As the whirlwind
<05492>

passeth
<05674> (8800)_,

so [is] the wicked
<07563>

no [more]: but the righteous
<06662>

[is] an everlasting
<05769>

foundation
<03247>_.

10:26

As vinegar
<02558>

to the teeth
<08127>_,

and as smoke
<06227>

to the eyes
<05869>_,

so [is] the sluggard
<06102>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

him.

10:27

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

prolongeth
<03254> (8686)

days
<03117>_:

but the years
<08141>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall be shortened
<07114> (8799)_.

{prolongeth: Heb. addeth}

10:28

The hope
<08431>

of the righteous
<06662>

[shall be] gladness
<08057>_:

but the expectation
<08615>

of the wicked
<07563>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

10:29

The way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] strength
<04581>

to the upright
<08537>_:

but destruction
<04288>

[shall be] to the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_.

10:30

The righteous
<06662>

shall never
<05769>

be removed
<04131> (8735)_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall not inhabit
<07931> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_.

10:31

The mouth
<06310>

of the just
<06662>

bringeth forth
<05107> (8799)

wisdom
<02451>_:

but the froward
<08419>

tongue
<03956>

shall be cut out
<03772> (8735)_.

10:32

The lips
<08193>

of the righteous
<06662>

know
<03045> (8799)

what is acceptable
<07522>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the wicked
<07563>

[speaketh] frowardness
<08419>_.

{frowardness: Heb. frowardnesses}

Proverbs 12:1-28

12:1

Whoso loveth
<0157> (8802)

instruction
<04148>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

reproof
<08433>

[is] brutish
<01198>_.

12:2

A good
<02896>

[man] obtaineth
<06329> (8686)

favour
<07522>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

but a man
<0376>

of wicked devices
<04209>

will he condemn
<07561> (8686)_.

12:3

A man
<0120>

shall not be established
<03559> (8735)

by wickedness
<07562>_:

but the root
<08328>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.

12:4

A virtuous
<02428>

woman
<0802>

[is] a crown
<05850>

to her husband
<01167>_:

but she that maketh ashamed
<0954> (8688)

[is] as rottenness
<07538>

in his bones
<06106>_.

12:5

The thoughts
<04284>

of the righteous
<06662>

[are] right
<04941>_:

[but] the counsels
<08458>

of the wicked
<07563>

[are] deceit
<04820>_.

12:6

The words
<01697>

of the wicked
<07563>

[are] to lie in wait
<0693> (8800)

for blood
<01818>_:

but the mouth
<06310>

of the upright
<03477>

shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

them.

12:7

The wicked
<07563>

are overthrown
<02015> (8800)_,

and [are] not: but the house
<01004>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall stand
<05975> (8799)_.

12:8

A man
<0376>

shall be commended
<01984> (8792)

according
<06310>

to his wisdom
<07922>_:

but he that is of a perverse
<05753> (8737)

heart
<03820>

shall be despised
<0937>_.

{of a...: Heb. perverse of heart}

12:9

[He that is] despised
<07034> (8737)_,

and hath a servant
<05650>_,

[is] better
<02896>

than he that honoureth
<03513> (8693)

himself, and lacketh
<02638>

bread
<03899>_.

12:10

A righteous
<06662>

[man] regardeth
<03045> (8802)

the life
<05315>

of his beast
<0929>_:

but the tender mercies
<07356>

of the wicked
<07563>

[are] cruel
<0394>_.

{tender...: or, bowels}

12:11

He that tilleth
<05647> (8802)

his land
<0127>

shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with bread
<03899>_:

but he that followeth
<07291> (8764)

vain
<07386>

[persons is] void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_.

12:12

The wicked
<07563>

desireth
<02530> (8804)

the net
<04685>

of evil
<07451>

[men]: but the root
<08328>

of the righteous
<06662>

yieldeth
<05414> (8799)

[fruit]. {the net: or, the fortress}

12:13

The wicked
<07451>

is snared
<04170>

by the transgression
<06588>

of [his] lips
<08193>_:

but the just
<06662>

shall come out
<03318> (8799)

of trouble
<06869>_.

{The wicked...: Heb. The snare of the wicked is in the transgression of lips}

12:14

A man
<0376>

shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with good
<02896>

by the fruit
<06529>

of [his] mouth
<06310>_:

and the recompence
<01576>

of a man's
<0120>

hands
<03027>

shall be rendered
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)

unto him.

12:15

The way
<01870>

of a fool
<0191>

[is] right
<03477>

in his own eyes
<05869>_:

but he that hearkeneth
<08085> (8802)

unto counsel
<06098>

[is] wise
<02450>_.

12:16

A fool's
<0191>

wrath
<03708>

is presently
<03117>

known
<03045> (8735)_:

but a prudent
<06175>

[man] covereth
<03680> (8802)

shame
<07036>_.

{presently: Heb. in that day}

12:17

[He that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

truth
<0530>

sheweth forth
<05046> (8686)

righteousness
<06664>_:

but a false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

deceit
<04820>_.

12:18

There is
<03426>

that speaketh
<0981> (8802)

like the piercings
<04094>

of a sword
<02719>_:

but the tongue
<03956>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] health
<04832>_.

12:19

The lip
<08193>

of truth
<0571>

shall be established
<03559> (8735)

for ever
<05703>_:

but a lying
<08267>

tongue
<03956>

[is] but for a moment
<07280> (8686)_.

12:20

Deceit
<04820>

[is] in the heart
<03820>

of them that imagine
<02790> (8802)

evil
<07451>_:

but to the counsellors
<03289> (8802)

of peace
<07965>

[is] joy
<08057>_.

12:21

There shall no evil
<0205>

happen
<0579> (8792)

to the just
<06662>_:

but the wicked
<07563>

shall be filled
<04390> (8804)

with mischief
<07451>_.

12:22

Lying
<08267>

lips
<08193>

[are] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but they that deal
<06213> (8802)

truly
<0530>

[are] his delight
<07522>_.

12:23

A prudent
<06175>

man
<0120>

concealeth
<03680> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>_:

but the heart
<03820>

of fools
<03684>

proclaimeth
<07121> (8799)

foolishness
<0200>_.

12:24

The hand
<03027>

of the diligent
<02742>

shall bear rule
<04910> (8799)_:

but the slothful
<07423>

shall be under tribute
<04522>_.

{slothful: or, deceitful}

12:25

Heaviness
<01674>

in the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

maketh it stoop
<07812> (8686)_:

but a good
<02896>

word
<01697>

maketh it glad
<08055> (8762)_.

12:26

The righteous
<06662>

[is] more excellent
<08446> (8686)

than his neighbour
<07453>_:

but the way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

seduceth
<08582> (8686)

them. {excellent: or, abundant}

12:27

The slothful
<07423>

[man] roasteth
<02760> (8799)

not that which he took in hunting
<06718>_:

but the substance
<01952>

of a diligent
<02742>

man
<0120>

[is] precious
<03368>_.

12:28

In the way
<0734>

of righteousness
<06666>

[is] life
<02416>_;

and [in] the pathway
<05410> <01870>

[thereof there is] no death
<04194>_.
