Proverbs:15-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A soft answer turneth away wrath :
but grievous words stir up anger .
*
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright :
but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness .
*
The eyes of the LORD are in every place ,
beholding the evil and the good .
*
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life :
but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit .
*
A fool despiseth his fathers instruction :
but he that regardeth reproof is prudent .
*
In the house of the righteous is much treasure :
but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble .
*
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge da #
ath #:
but the heart of the foolish doeth not so .
*
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD :
but the prayer of the upright is his delight .
*
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD :
but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness .
*
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way :
and he that hateth reproof shall die .
*
Hell and destruction are before the LORD :
how much more then the hearts of the children of men ?
*
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him :
neither will he go unto the wise .
*
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance :
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken .
*
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge da #
ath #:
but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness .
*
All the days of the afflicted are evil :
but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast .
*
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith .
*
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is ,
than a stalled ox and hatred therewith .
*
A wrathful man stirreth up strife :
but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife .
*
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns :
but the way of the righteous is made plain .
*
A wise son maketh a glad father :
but a foolish man despiseth his mother .
*
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom :
but a man of understanding walketh uprightly .
*
Without counsel purposes are disappointed :
but in the multitude of counsellors they are established .
*
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth :
and a word spoken in due season ,
how good is it !
*
The way of life is above to the wise ,
that he may depart from hell beneath .
*
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud ge #
eh #:
but he will establish the border of the widow .
*
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD :
but the words of the pure are pleasant words .
*
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house ;
but he that hateth gifts shall live .
*
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer :
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things .
*
The LORD is far from the wicked :
but he heareth the prayer of the righteous .
*
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart :
and a good report maketh #
the bones fat .
*
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise .
*
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul :
but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding .
*
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom ;
and before honour is humility .
*
The preparations of the heart in man ,
and the answer of the tongue ,
is from the LORD .
*
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes ;
but the LORD weigheth the spirits .
*
Commit thy works unto the LORD ,
and thy thoughts shall be established .
*
The LORD hath made all things for himself ma #
aneh #:
yea ,
even the wicked for the day of evil .
*
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD :
though hand join in hand ,
he shall not be unpunished .
*
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged :
and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil .
*
When a mans ways please the LORD ,
he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him .
*
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right .
*
A mans heart deviseth his way :
but the LORD directeth his steps tsa #
ad #.
*
A divine sentence is in the lips of the king :
his mouth transgresseth not in judgment .
*
A just weight and balance are the LORDS :
all the weights of the bag are his work ma #
aseh #.
*
It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness :
for the throne is established by righteousness .
*
Righteous lips are the delight of kings ;
and they love him that speaketh right .
*
The wrath of a king is as messengers of death :
but a wise man will pacify it .
*
In the light of the kings countenance is life ;
and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain .
*
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold !
and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver !
*
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil :
he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul .
*
Pride goeth before destruction ,
and an haughty spirit before a fall .
*
Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly #,
than to divide the spoil with the proud ge #
eh #.
*
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good :
and whoso trusteth in the LORD ,
happy is he .
*
The wise in heart shall be called prudent :
and the sweetn4986of the lips increaseth learning .
*
Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it :
but the instruction of fools is folly .
*
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth ,
and addeth learning to his lips .
*
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb tsuwph #,
sweet to the soul ,
and health to the bones .
*
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man ,
but the end thereof are the ways of death .
*
He that laboureth laboureth for himself ;
for his mouth craveth it of him .
*
An ungodly man diggeth up evil :
and in his lips there is as a burning fire .
*
A froward man soweth strife :
and a whisperer separateth chief friends .
*
A violent man enticeth his neighbour ,
and leadeth him into the way that is not good .
*
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things :
moving his lips he bringeth #
evil to pass .
*
The hoary head is a crown of glory tiph #
arah #,
if it be found in the way of righteousness .
*
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty ;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city .
*
The lot is cast into the lap ;
but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD .
*
Better is a dry morsel ,
and quietness therewith ,
than an house full of sacrifices with strife .
*
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame ,
and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren .
*
The fining pot is for silver ,
and the furnace for gold :
but the LORD trieth the hearts .
*
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips ;
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue .
*
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker :
and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished .
*
Childrens children are the crown of old men ;
and the glory of children are their fathers .
*
Excellent speech becometh not a fool :
much less do lying lips a prince .
*
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it :
whithersoever it turneth ,
it prospereth .
*
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love ;
but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends .
*
A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool .
*
An evil man seeketh only rebellion :
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him .
*
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man ,
rather than a fool in his folly .
*
Whoso rewardeth evil for good ,
evil shall not depart (
8675 )
from his house .
*
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water :
therefore leave off contention ,
before it be meddled with .
*
He that justifieth the wicked ,
and he that condemneth the just ,
even they both are abomination to the LORD .
*
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom ,
seeing he hath no heart to it ?
*
A friend loveth at all times ,
and a brother is born for adversity .
*
A man void of understanding striketh hands ,
and becometh surety in the presence of his friend .
*
He loveth transgression that loveth strife :
and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction .
*
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good :
and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief .
*
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow :
and the father of a fool hath no joy .
*
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine :
but a broken spirit drieth the bones .
*
A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment .
*
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding paniym #;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth .
*
A foolish son is a grief to his father ,
and bitterness to her that bare him .
*
Also to punish the just is not good ,
nor to strike princes for equity .
*
He that hath knowledge spareth his words :
and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit .
*
Even a fool ,
when he holdeth his peace ,
is counted wise :
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding .
*
Through desire a man ,
having separated himself ,
seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom .
