- A wise son accepts his father's discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
- From the fruit of a man's mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
- The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
- The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
- A righteous man hates falsehood, But a wicked man acts disgustingly and shamefully.
|
- A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
- A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
- He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
- The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
- A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
|
- Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness subverts the sinner.
- There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing; Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth.
- The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke.
- The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked goes out.
|
- Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
- There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
- The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
- The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
