On Life and Conduct 1Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.
2Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,
3The foolishness of man ruins his way,
4Wealth adds many friends,
5A false witness will not go unpunished,
6Many will seek the favor of a generous man,
7All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
9A false witness will not go unpunished,
10Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
11A mans discretion makes him slow to anger,
12The kings wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
13A foolish son is destruction to his father,
14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
15Laziness casts into a deep sleep,
16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
17One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD,
18Discipline your son while there is hope,
19A man of great anger will bear the penalty,
20Listen to counsel and accept discipline,
21Many plans are in a mans heart,
22What is desirable in a man is his kindness,
23The fear of the LORD leads to life,
24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish,
25Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd,
26He who assaults his father and drives his mother away
27Cease listening, my son, to discipline,
28A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice,
29Judgments are prepared for scoffers, 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 |
