The righteous
<06662>

[man] wisely considereth
<07919> (8688)

the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

[but God] overthroweth
<05557> (8764)

the wicked
<07563>

for [their] wickedness
<07451>_.

Whoso stoppeth
<0331> (8801)

his ears
<0241>

at the cry
<02201>

of the poor
<01800>_,

he also shall cry
<07121> (8799)

himself, but shall not be heard
<06030> (8735)_.

A gift
<04976>

in secret
<05643>

pacifieth
<03711> (8799)

anger
<0639>_:

and a reward
<07810>

in the bosom
<02436>

strong
<05794>

wrath
<02534>_.

[It is] joy
<08057>

to the just
<06662>

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>_:

but destruction
<04288>

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

of iniquity
<0205>_.

The man
<0120>

that wandereth
<08582> (8802)

out of the way
<01870>

of understanding
<07919> (8687)

shall remain
<05117> (8799)

in the congregation
<06951>

of the dead
<07496>_.

He that loveth
<0157> (8802)

pleasure
<08057>

[shall be] a poor
<04270>

man
<0376>_:

he that loveth
<0157> (8802)

wine
<03196>

and oil
<08081>

shall not be rich
<06238> (8686)_.

{pleasure: or, sport}

The wicked
<07563>

[shall be] a ransom
<03724>

for the righteous
<06662>_,

and the transgressor
<0898> (8802)

for the upright
<03477>_.

[It is] better
<02896>

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in the wilderness
<0776> <04057>_,

than with a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>

and an angry
<03708>

woman
<0802>_.

{in...: Heb. in the land of the desert}

[There is] treasure
<0214>

to be desired
<02530> (8737)

and oil
<08081>

in the dwelling
<05116>

of the wise
<02450>_;

but a foolish
<03684>

man
<0120>

spendeth it up
<01104> (8762)_.

He that followeth
<07291> (8802)

after righteousness
<06666>

and mercy
<02617>

findeth
<04672> (8799)

life
<02416>_,

righteousness
<06666>_,

and honour
<03519>_.

A wise
<02450>

[man] scaleth
<05927> (8804)

the city
<05892>

of the mighty
<01368>_,

and casteth down
<03381> (8686)

the strength
<05797>

of the confidence
<04009>

thereof.

Whoso keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his mouth
<06310>

and his tongue
<03956>

keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his soul
<05315>

from troubles
<06869>_.

Proud
<02086>

[and] haughty
<03093>

scorner
<03887> (8801)

[is] his name
<08034>_,

who dealeth
<06213> (8802)

in proud
<02087>

wrath
<05678>_.

{in proud...: Heb. in the wrath of pride}

The desire
<08378>

of the slothful
<06102>

killeth
<04191> (8686)

him; for his hands
<03027>

refuse
<03985> (8765)

to labour
<06213> (8800)_.

He coveteth
<0183> (8694)

greedily
<08378>

all the day
<03117>

long: but the righteous
<06662>

giveth
<05414> (8799)

and spareth
<02820> (8799)

not.

The sacrifice
<02077>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] abomination
<08441>_:

how much more, [when] he bringeth
<0935> (8686)

it with a wicked mind
<02154>_?

{with...: Heb. in wickedness?}

A false
<03577>

witness
<05707>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_:

but the man
<0376>

that heareth
<08085> (8802)

speaketh
<01696> (8762)

constantly
<05331>_.

{A...: Heb. A witness of lies}

A wicked
<07563>

man
<0376>

hardeneth
<05810> (8689)

his face
<06440>_:

but [as for] the upright
<03477>_,

he directeth
<0995> (8799) (8675) <03559> (8686)

his way
<01870>_.

{directeth: or, considereth}

[There is] no wisdom
<02451>

nor understanding
<08394>

nor counsel
<06098>

against the LORD
<03068>_.

The horse
<05483>

[is] prepared
<03559> (8716)

against the day
<03117>

of battle
<04421>_:

but safety
<08668>

[is] of the LORD
<03068>_.

{safety: or, victory}
