Bible. Proverbs
20:012:013 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the
just shall come out of trouble.
20:012:014 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth:
and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto
him.
20:012:015 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that
hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
20:012:016 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth
shame.
20:012:017 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a
false witness deceit.
20:012:018 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the
tongue of the wise is health.
20:012:019 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying
tongue is but for a moment.
20:012:020 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the
counsellors of peace is joy.
20:012:021 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall
be filled with mischief.
20:012:022 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal
truly are his delight.
20:012:023 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools
proclaimeth foolishness.
20:012:024 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful
shall be under tribute.
20:012:025 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word
maketh it glad.
20:012:026 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the
way of the wicked seduceth them.
20:012:027 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting:
but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
20:012:028 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway
thereof there is no death.
20:013:001 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner
heareth not rebuke.
20:013:002 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul
of the transgressors shall eat violence.
20:013:003 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that
openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
20:013:004 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the
soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
20:013:005 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome,
and cometh to shame.
20:013:006 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but
wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
20:013:007 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is
that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
20:013:008 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor
heareth not rebuke.
20:013:009 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the
wicked shall be put out.
20:013:010 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is
wisdom.
