Proverbs 21:16-31

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}
