* He who loveth correction loveth knowledge ; But he who hateth rebuke remaineth stupid . * The good man obtaineth favor from the LORD ; But the man of wicked devices he condemneth . * A man shall not be established by wickedness ; But the root of the righteous shall not be moved . * A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband ; But she who causeth shame is as rottenness in his bones . * The purposes of the righteous are just ; The designs of the wicked are deceitful . * The words of the wicked lie in wait for men ’s blood ; But the mouth of the upright delivereth them . * The wicked are overthrown , and are no more ; But the house of the righteous shall stand . * A man will be commended according to his wisdom ; But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised . * Better is he that demeaneth himself , and hath a servant , Than he that exalteth himself , and hath no bread . * The righteous man careth for the life of his beast ; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel . * He who tilleth his own land shall be satisfied with bread ; But he who followeth worthless persons is void of understanding . * The wicked man longeth after the prey of evil –doers ; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit . * In the transgression of the lips is a dangerous snare ; But the righteous man shall escape from trouble . * By the fruit of a man ’s mouth he shall be filled with good , And the recompense of a man ’s hands shall be rendered unto him . * The way of a fool is right in his own eyes ; But he that hearkeneth to counsel is wise . * A fool ’s wrath is instantly known ; But he that hideth insult is wise . * He that speaketh truth testifieth what is right ; But a false witness , deceit . * There is who babbleth like the piercing of a sword ; But the tongue of the wise is health . * The lip of truth shall be established for ever ; But the tongue of falsehood , but for a moment . * Deceit is in the heart of those who contrive evil ; But to the counsellors of peace shall be joy . * No evil shall happen to the righteous ; But the wicked shall be filled with calamity . * False lips are the abomination of the LORD ; But they who deal truly are his delight . * A prudent man concealeth his knowledge ; Bur the heart of fools proclaimeth their foolishness . * The hand of the diligent shall bear rule ; But the slothful shall be under tribute . * Anxiety in the heart of a man boweth it down ; But a kind word maketh it glad . * The righteous showeth the way to his neighbor ; But the way of the wicked leadeth them astray . * The slothful man shall not roast his game ; But a precious treasure to any man is he that is diligent . * In the path of righteousness is life , And in her pathway there is no death .
