Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
1 A wise
son accepts
his father’s
discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to
rebuke.
2 From
the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of
the treacherous is violence.
3 The
one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens
wide his lips comes to ruin.
4
The
soul of the sluggard craves and gets
nothing, But the soul
of the diligent is made
fat.
5
A
righteous man hates falsehood, But a wicked man acts
disgustingly and shamefully.
6
Righteousness guards the one
whose way is
blameless, But wickedness subverts the
sinner.
7
There
is one who pretends to be rich, but has
nothing; Another pretends
to be poor, but has great wealth.
8 The
ransom of a man’s life is his wealth, But the poor hears no
rebuke.
9
The
light of the righteous rejoices, But
the lamp of the wicked goes
out.
10
Through insolence comes
nothing but strife, But
wisdom is with those who receive counsel.
11
Wealth obtained
by fraud
dwindles, But the one who gathers by labor increases
it.
12
Hope deferred makes the heart
sick, But desire
fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 The
one who despises the word will be in debt to it, But the one
who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The
teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from
the snares of death.
15
Good understanding produces
favor, But the way of
the treacherous is hard.
16
Every prudent man acts with
knowledge, But a fool
displays folly.
17
A
wicked messenger falls into adversity, But a faithful
envoy brings healing.
18
Poverty and shame
will
come to
him
who neglects discipline, But he who regards reproof will be
honored.
19
Desire realized is sweet to
the soul, But it is an
abomination to fools to turn away from evil.
20 He
who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of
fools will suffer harm.
21
Adversity pursues
sinners, But the righteous will be
rewarded with prosperity.
22
A
good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, And
the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the
righteous.
23
Abundant food is in
the
fallow ground of the poor, But it is swept away by
injustice.
24
He
who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him
disciplines him diligently.
25
The
righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of
the wicked is in need.
