1 The one loving discipline is loving knowledge, and the one hating correction [is] stupid. VP
2 A good one brings forth favor from YHWH, and a man of schemes He will condemn. VP
3 A man is not established by wickedness, and the root of the righteous shall not be shaken. VP
4 A woman of virtue [is] a crown to her husband, and the one causing shame [is] like rottenness in his bones. VP
5 The thoughts of the righteous ones [are] justice; the counsels of the wicked ones [are for] deceit. VP
6 The words of the wicked ones lie in wait [for] blood, and the mouth of the upright ones delivers them. VP
7 Wicked ones are overthrown, and they are no more, and the house of the righteous ones shall stand. VP
8 A man is praised according to the mouth of his insight, and the one crooked of heart will be for contempt. VP
9 Better to be lightly esteemed, and a servant [is] unto him, than the one honoring himself and lacking bread. VP
10 A righteous one regards the life of his animal, and the mercies of the wicked ones [are] cruel. VP
11 The one working his land is satisfied [with] bread, while the one pursuing vanities [is] lacking of heart. VP
12 The wicked desires the net of evildoers, and the root of the righteous ones will give. VP
13 The snare of a wicked one [is] in the transgression of lips, and a righteous one will come out from distress. VP
14 From the fruit of the mouth, a man will be satisfied with good, and the recompence of the hands of a man returns to him. VP
15 The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, and the one listening to counsel [is] wise. VP
16 The fool—in a day his anger is known; and a prudent one covers shame. VP
17 The one breathing forth truth declares righteousness, and a witness of falsehoods, deceit. VP
18 There is one speaking rashly like the thrusts of a sword, and the tongue of the wise ones [is] healing. VP
19 The lip of truth is established forever, and the tongue of deceit for an instant. VP
20 Deception [is] in the heart of those devising evil, and for those counseling peace [is] joy. VP
21 Not any iniquity will meet with the righteous one, and the wicked are full of evil. VP
22 An abomination to YHWH [are] lips of falsehood, and those acting [in] truth [are] His delight. VP
23 A prudent man is concealing knowledge, and the heart of stupid ones calls out folly. VP
24 The hand of the diligent ones will rule, and slothfulness will be [put] to forced labor. VP
25 Anxiety in the heart of man bends [him] down, and a good word gladdens it. VP
26 A righteous one searches out from his neighbor, and the way of the wicked leads them astray. VP
27 The slothful one does not roast his game, and the wealth of a man [is] precious for a diligent one. VP
28 In the path of righteousness [is] life, and in [its] pathway [is] no death. VP
