Bible. Proverbs
20:014:012 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death.
20:014:013 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that
mirth is heaviness.
20:014:014 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and
a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
20:014:015 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh
well to his going.
20:014:016 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool
rageth, and is confident.
20:014:017 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked
devices is hated.
20:014:018 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with
knowledge.
20:014:019 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of
the righteous.
20:014:020 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath
many friends.
20:014:021 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath
mercy on the poor, happy is he.
20:014:022 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be
to them that devise good.
20:014:023 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips
tendeth only to penury.
20:014:024 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of
fools is folly.
20:014:025 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness
speaketh lies.
20:014:026 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children
shall have a place of refuge.
20:014:027 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the
snares of death.
20:014:028 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the
want of people is the destruction of the prince.
20:014:029 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he
that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
20:014:030 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the
rottenness of the bones.
20:014:031 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that
honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
20:014:032 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous
hath hope in his death.
20:014:033 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding:
but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
20:014:034 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any
people.
20:014:035 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is
against him that causeth shame.
20:015:001 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up
anger.
20:015:002 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth
of fools poureth out foolishness.
20:015:003 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil
and the good.
