PROVERBS
14.34
- And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
- 15The thoughtless believeth every word;
- But the prudent man looketh well to his going.
- 16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil;
- But the fool behaveth overbearingly, and is confident.
- 17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly;
- And a man of wicked devices is hated.
- 18The thoughtless come into possession of folly;
- But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
- 19The evil bow before the good,
- And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
- 20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour;
- But the rich hath many friends.
- 21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth;
- But he that is gracious unto the humble, happy is he.
- 22Shall they not go astray that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be for them that devise good.
- 23In all labour there is profit;
- But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
- 24The crown of the wise is their riches;
- But the folly of fools remaineth folly.
- 25A true witness delivereth souls;
- But he that breatheth forth lies is all deceit.
- 26In the fear of the Lord a man hath strong confidence;
- And his children shall have a place of refuge.
- 27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
- 28In the multitude of people is the king's glory;
- But in the want of people is the ruin of the prince.
- 29He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;
- But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
- 30A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh;
- But envy is the rottenness of the bones.
- 31He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker;
- But he that is gracious unto the needy honoureth Him.
- 32The wicked is thrust down in his misfortune;
- But the righteous, even when he is brought to death, hath hope.
- 33In the heart of him that hath discernment wisdom resteth;
- But in the inward part of fools it maketh itself known.
- 34Righteousness exalteth a nation;
- But sin is a reproach to any people.
