Bible. Proverbs
20:021:012 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:
but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
20:021:013 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall
cry himself, but shall not be heard.
20:021:014 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom
strong wrath.
20:021:015 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be
to the workers of iniquity.
20:021:016 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall
remain in the congregation of the dead.
20:021:017 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth
wine and oil shall not be rich.
20:021:018 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the
transgressor for the upright.
20:021:019 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a
contentious and an angry woman.
20:021:020 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the
wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
20:021:021 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life,
righteousness, and honour.
20:021:022 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down
the strength of the confidence thereof.
20:021:023 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from
troubles.
20:021:024 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud
wrath.
20:021:025 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse
to labour.
20:021:026 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous
giveth and spareth not.
20:021:027 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more,
when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
20:021:028 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth
speaketh constantly.
20:021:029 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he
directeth his way.
20:021:030 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the
LORD.
20:021:031 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is
of the LORD.
20:022:001 A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and
loving favour rather than silver and gold.
20:022:002 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them
all.
20:022:003 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the
simple pass on, and are punished.
20:022:004 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour,
and life.
20:022:005 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth
keep his soul shall be far from them.
20:022:006 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.
20:022:007 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to
the lender.
