151A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.+2The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.+3The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.+4A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.+5A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.+6In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.+7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so.+8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.+9The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.+10There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; [And] he that hateth reproof shall die.+11Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men!+12A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.+13A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.+14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.+15All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart [hath] a continual feast.+16Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.+17Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.+18A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.+19The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.+20A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.+21Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going.+22Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.+23A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!+24To the wise the way of life [goeth] upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.+25Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow.+26Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words [are] pure.+27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.+28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.+29Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.+30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; [And] good tidings make the bones fat.+31The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.+32He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.+33The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor [goeth] humility.+
