| 15 | Proverbs | ||
| 1 | A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. | ||
| 2 | The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. | ||
| 3 | The eyes of Yahweh are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. | ||
| 4 | A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. | ||
| 5 | A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who heeds admonition is prudent. | ||
| 6 | In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked. | ||
| 7 | The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the minds of fools. | ||
| 8 | The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight. | ||
| 9 | The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who pursues righteousness. | ||
| 10 | There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; he who hates reproof will die. | ||
| 11 | Sheol and Abaddon lie open before Yahweh, how much more the hearts of men! | ||
| 12 | A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. | ||
| 13 | A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. | ||
| 14 | The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly. | ||
| 15 | All the days of the afflicted are evil, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast. | ||
| 16 | Better is a little with the fear of Yahweh than great treasure and trouble with it. | ||
| 17 | Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it. | ||
| 18 | A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention. | ||
| 19 | The way of a sluggard is overgrown with thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway. | ||
| 20 | A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother. | ||
| 21 | Folly is a joy to him who has no sense, but a man of understanding walks aright. | ||
| 22 | Without counsel plans go wrong, but with many advisers they succeed. | ||
| 23 | To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is! | ||
| 24 | The wise man's path leads upward to life, that he may avoid Sheol beneath. | ||
| 25 | Yahweh tears down the house of the proud, but maintains the widow's boundaries. | ||
| 26 | The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to Yahweh, the words of the pure are pleasing to him. | ||
| 27 | He who is greedy for unjust gain makes trouble for his household, but he who hates bribes will live. | ||
| 28 | The mind of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. | ||
| 29 | Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. | ||
| 30 | The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones. | ||
| 31 | He whose ear heeds wholesome admonition will abide among the wise. | ||
| 32 | He who ignores instruction despises himself, but he who heeds admonition gains understanding. | ||
| 33 | The fear of Yahweh is instruction in wisdom, and humility does before honour. | ||
