Proverbs 17:15-28

He that justifieth
<06663> (8688)
the wicked
<07563>_,
and he that condemneth
<07561> (8688)
the just
<06662>_,
even they both
<08147>
[are] abomination
<08441>
to the LORD
<03068>_.
Wherefore [is there] a price
<04242>
in the hand
<03027>
of a fool
<03684>
to get
<07069> (8800)
wisdom
<02451>_,
seeing [he hath] no heart
<03820>
[to it]?
A friend
<07453>
loveth
<0157> (8802)
at all times
<06256>_,
and a brother
<0251>
is born
<03205> (8735)
for adversity
<06869>_.
A man
<0120>
void
<02638>
of understanding
<03820>
striketh
<08628> (8802)
hands
<03709>_,
[and] becometh
<06148> (8802)
surety
<06161>
in the presence
<06440>
of his friend
<07453>_.
{understanding: Heb. heart}
He loveth
<0157> (8802)
transgression
<06588>
that loveth
<0157> (8802)
strife
<04683>_:
[and] he that exalteth
<01361> (8688)
his gate
<06607>
seeketh
<01245> (8764)
destruction
<07667>_.
He that hath a froward
<06141>
heart
<03820>
findeth
<04672> (8799)
no good
<02896>_:
and he that hath a perverse
<02015> (8738)
tongue
<03956>
falleth
<05307> (8799)
into mischief
<07451>_.
{He that hath a froward...: Heb. The froward of heart}
He that begetteth
<03205> (8802)
a fool
<03684>
[doeth it] to his sorrow
<08424>_:
and the father
<01>
of a fool
<05036>
hath no joy
<08055> (8799)_.
A merry
<08056>
heart
<03820>
doeth good
<03190> (8686)
[like] a medicine
<01456>_:
but a broken
<05218>
spirit
<07307>
drieth
<03001> (8762)
the bones
<01634>_.
{like: or, to}
A wicked
<07563>
[man] taketh
<03947> (8799)
a gift
<07810>
out of the bosom
<02436>
to pervert
<05186> (8687)
the ways
<0734>
of judgment
<04941>_.
Wisdom
<02451>
[is] before him that hath understanding
<06440> <0995> (8688)_;
but the eyes
<05869>
of a fool
<03684>
[are] in the ends
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_.
A foolish
<03684>
son
<01121>
[is] a grief
<03708>
to his father
<01>_,
and bitterness
<04470>
to her that bare
<03205> (8802)
him.
Also to punish
<06064> (8800)
the just
<06662>
[is] not good
<02896>_,
[nor] to strike
<05221> (8687)
princes
<05081>
for equity
<03476>_.
He that hath
<03045> (8802)
knowledge
<01847>
spareth
<02820> (8802)
his words
<0561>_:
[and] a man
<0376>
of understanding
<08394>
is of an excellent
<03368> (8675) <07119>
spirit
<07307>_.
{an...: or, a cool}
Even a fool
<0191>_,
when he holdeth his peace
<02790> (8688)_,
is counted
<02803> (8735)
wise
<02450>_:
[and] he that shutteth
<0331> (8801)
his lips
<08193>
[is esteemed] a man of understanding
<0995> (8737)_.
