* A wise son , * Of the fruit of his mouth , shall a man eat what is good , but , the soul of the treacherous , * He that watcheth his mouth , guardeth his soul , He that openeth wide his lips , * The sluggard , desireth , but his soul hath , nothing . But , the soul of the diligent , shall be enriched . * A word of falsehood , the righteous man , hateth , but , the lawless , causeth shame and disgrace . * Righteousness , guardeth the man of blameless way , but , lawlessness , overthroweth the sinner . * There is who feigneth himself rich , yet hath nothing at all , who pleadeth poverty , yet hath great substance . * The ransom of a mans life , is his wealth , but , the poor , heareth not rebuke . * The light of the righteous , rejoiceth , but , the lamp of the lawless , goeth out . * Only by pride , doth one cause contention , but , with the well-advised , is wisdom . * Wealth gotten by greed , diminisheth , but , he that gathereth by little , increaseth . * Hope deferred , sickeneth the heart , but , a tree of life , is desire fulfilled . * He that despiseth a matter , shall get pledged thereto , but , he that revereth a commandment , the same shall be recompensed . * the instruction of the wise , is a well-spring of life , by departing from the snares of death . * Sound discretion , yieldeth favour , but , the way of the treacherous , is rugged . * Every prudent man , maketh use of knowledge , but , a dullard , spreadeth folly . * A lawless messenger , falleth into mischief , but , a faithful herald , bringeth healing . * Poverty and contempt , are for him that neglecteth correction , but , he that regardeth reproof , shall be honoured . * A desire fulfilled , is sweet to the soul , but it is , an abomination to the lawless , to depart from evil . * He that walketh with the wise , becometh wise , but , the friend of dullards , becometh foolish . * Evil pursueth , sinners , but , unto the righteous , shall good be recompensed . * A good man , leaveth an inheritance to childrens children , but , laid up for the righteous , is the wealth of the sinner . * Much food , is in the fallow ground of the poor , but there is that is swept away , for want of justice . * He that withholdeth his rod , hateth his son , but , he that loveth him , carefully correcteth him . * The righteous , eateth to satisfy his appetite , but , the belly of the lawless , shall want .
