Contrast the Upright and the Wicked 1He who separates himself seeks his own desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
2A fool does not delight in understanding,
3When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes,
4The words of a mans mouth are deep waters;
5To show partiality to the wicked is not good,
6A fools lips bring strife,
7A fools mouth is his ruin,
8The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels,
9He also who is slack in his work
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
11A rich mans wealth is his strong city,
12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
13He who gives an answer before he hears,
14The spirit of a man can endure his sickness,
15The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,
16A mans gift makes room for him
17The first to plead his case seems right,
18The cast lot puts an end to strife
19A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,
20With the fruit of a mans mouth his stomach will be satisfied;
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
22He who finds a wife finds a good thing
23The poor man utters supplications,
24A man of too many friends comes to ruin, 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 |
