- He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.
- A wise man scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
- He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
- "Proud," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names, Who acts with insolent pride.
- The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;
|
- He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
- A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
- Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
- Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
- The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
|
- All day long he is craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back.
- The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, How much more when he brings it with evil intent!
- A false witness will perish, But the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.
- A wicked man displays a bold face, But as for the upright, he makes his way sure.
- There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the LORD.
|
- He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
- The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
- A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
- A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
- There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
|
- The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But victory belongs to the LORD.
|
- The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
