Contrast the Upright and the Wicked 1Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid.
2A good man will obtain favor from the LORD,
3A man will not be established by wickedness,
4An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
5The thoughts of the righteous are just,
6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
7The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
8A man will be praised according to his insight,
9Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant
10A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal,
11He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
12The wicked man desires the booty of evil men,
13An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
14A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words,
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
16A fools anger is known at once,
17He who speaks truth tells what is right,
18There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
19Truthful lips will be established forever,
20Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
21No harm befalls the righteous,
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
23A prudent man conceals knowledge,
24The hand of the diligent will rule,
25Anxiety in a mans heart weighs it down,
26The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
27A lazy man does not roast his prey,
28In the way of righteousness is life, New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Apps |
