1<\/sup>Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. But whoever hates correction is unwise.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Whoever is good shall draw grace from the Lord. But whoever trusts in his own thoughts acts impiously.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Man will not be made strong from impiety. And the root of the just shall not be moved.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>A diligent woman is a crown to her husband. And she who acts with confusion as to which things are worthy is decay to his bones.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>The thoughts of the just are judgments. And the counsels of the impious are dishonest.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>The words of the impious lie in wait for blood. The mouth of the just shall free them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Turn from the impious, and they will not be. But the house of the just shall stand firm.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>A man will be known by his doctrine. But whoever is vain and heartless will suffer contempt.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Better is a pauper who has what he needs, than someone glorious and in need of bread.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>The just one knows the lives of his beasts. But the inner most parts of the impious are cruel.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever continually pursues leisure is most foolish. Whoever is soothed by lingering over wine leaves behind contempt in his strongholds.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>The desire of the impious is the fortification of what is most wicked. But the root of the just shall prosper.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>For the sins of the lips draw ruin to the evil. But the just shall escape from distress.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>By the fruit of his own mouth, each one shall be filled with good things, and according to the works of his own hands, it will be distributed to him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes. But whoever is wise listens to counsels.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>The senseless immediately reveals his anger. But whoever ignores injuries is clever.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>He is a sign of justice, who speaks what he knows. But whoever deceives is a dishonest witness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>He who makes promises is also jabbed, as if with a sword, in conscience. But the tongue of the wise is reasonable.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>The lips of truth shall be steadfast forever. But a hasty witness readies a lying tongue.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evils. But gladness follows those who take up counsels of peace.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Whatever may befall the just, it will not discourage him. But the impious will be filled with disasters.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. But whoever acts faithfully pleases him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>A resourceful man conceals knowledge. And the heart of the unwise provokes foolishness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>The hand of the strong will rule. But anyone who is neglectful will pay tribute.<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>Grief in the heart of a man humbles him. And with a good word he shall be made glad.<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>He who ignores a loss for the sake of a friend is just. But the way of the impious will deceive them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 27<\/sup>The dishonest will not discover gain. But the substance of a man will be like precious gold.<\/span> <\/p>\n 28<\/sup>In the path of justice, there is life. But the devious way leads to death.<\/span> <\/p>\n
