Bible. Proverbs
20:010:027 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the
wicked shall be shortened.
20:010:028 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the
expectation of the wicked shall perish.
20:010:029 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but
destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
20:010:030 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not
inhabit the earth.
20:010:031 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward
tongue shall be cut out.
20:010:032 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the
mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
20:011:001 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight
is his delight.
20:011:002 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is
wisdom.
20:011:003 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the
perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
20:011:004 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness
delivereth from death.
20:011:005 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the
wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
20:011:006 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but
transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
20:011:007 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the
hope of unjust men perisheth.
20:011:008 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked
cometh in his stead.
20:011:009 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but
through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
20:011:010 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and
when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
20:011:011 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is
overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
20:011:012 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man
of understanding holdeth his peace.
20:011:013 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful
spirit concealeth the matter.
20:011:014 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of
counsellors there is safety.
20:011:015 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he
that hateth suretiship is sure.
20:011:016 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain
riches.
20:011:017 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is
cruel troubleth his own flesh.
20:011:018 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth
righteousness shall be a sure reward.
20:011:019 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil
pursueth it to his own death.
