1 A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge to do good: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but crooked dealing therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despises his father's instruction: but he who regards reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the mind of the foolish does not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is a disgusting thing to Jehovah: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is a disgusting thing to Jehovah: but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
10 Correction is grievous to him who forsakes the way: and he who hates reproof shall die.
11 Hell and destruction are before Jehovah: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12 A scorner loves not one who reproves him: neither will he go to the wise.
13 A merry mind makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he who is of a merry mind has a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the reverence of Jehovah than great treasure and trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him who is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25 Jehovah will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are a disgusting thing to Jehovah: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house; but he who hates gifts shall live.
28 The mind of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
29 Jehovah is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the mind: and a good report makes the bones fat.
31 The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.
32 He who refuses instruction despises his own mind, but those who hear reproof set their minds free
33 The reverence of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.

King James Version


1 A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.
3 In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil and the good.
4 A healed tongue [is] a tree of life, And perverseness in it -- a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso is regarding reproof is prudent.
6 [In] the house of the righteous [is] abundant strength, And in the increase of the wicked -- trouble.
7 The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools [is] not right.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright [is] His delight.
9 An abomination to Jehovah [is] the way of the wicked, And whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth.
10 Chastisement [is] grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth.
11 Sheol and destruction [are] before Jehovah, Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.
12 A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth not.
13 A joyful heart maketh glad the face, And by grief of heart is the spirit smitten.
14 The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoyeth folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil, And gladness of heart [is] a perpetual banquet.
16 Better [is] a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.
17 Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.
18 A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful [is] as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.
20 A wise son rejoiceth a father. And a foolish man is despising his mother.
21 Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth [his] going.
22 Without counsel [is] the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.
23 Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season -- how good!
24 A path of life [is] on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.
25 The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.
26 An abomination to Jehovah [are] thoughts of wickedness, And pure [are] sayings of pleasantness.
27 A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.
28 The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.
29 Far [is] Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.
31 An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge among the wise.
32 Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding.
33 The fear of Jehovah [is] the instruction of wisdom, And before honour [is] humility!
