Every wise
woman
buildeth
her house:
but the foolish
plucketh it down
with her hands.
He that walketh
in his uprightness
feareth
the LORD:
but he that is perverse
in his ways
despiseth
him.
In the mouth
of the foolish
is a rod
of pride:
but the lips
of the wise
shall preserve
them.
Where no oxen
are, the crib
is clean:
but much
increase
is by the strength
of the ox.
A faithful
witness
will not lie:
but a false
witness
will utter
lies.
A scorner
seeketh
wisdom,
and findeth it not: but knowledge
is easy
unto him that understandeth.
Go
from the presence
of a foolish
man,
when thou perceivest
not in him the lips
of knowledge.
The wisdom
of the prudent
is to understand
his way:
but the folly
of fools
is deceit.
Fools
make a mock
at sin:
but among the righteous
there is favour.
The heart
knoweth
his own
bitterness;
and a stranger
doth not intermeddle
with his joy.
The house
of the wicked
shall be overthrown:
but the tabernacle
of the upright
shall flourish.
There is
a way
which seemeth right
unto
a man,
but the end
thereof are the ways
of death.
Even in laughter
the heart
is sorrowful;
and the end
of that mirth
is heaviness.
The backslider
in heart
shall be filled
with his own ways:
and a good
man
shall be satisfied from himself.
The simple
believeth
every word:
but the prudent
man looketh well
to his going.
A wise
man feareth,
and departeth
from evil:
but the fool
rageth,
and is confident.
He that is soon
angry
dealeth
foolishly:
and a man
of wicked devices
is hated.
The simple
inherit
folly:
but the prudent
are crowned
with knowledge.
The evil
bow
before
the good;
and the wicked
at the gates
of the righteous.
The poor
is hated
even of his own neighbour:
but the rich
hath many
friends.
He that despiseth
his neighbour
sinneth:
but he that hath mercy
on the poor,
happy
is he.
Do they not err
that devise
evil?
but mercy
and truth
shall be to them that devise
good.

τεκταίνουσι

In all labour
there is profit:
but the talk
of the lips
tendeth only to penury.
The crown
of the wise
is their riches:
but the foolishness
of fools
is folly.
A true
witness
delivereth
souls:
but a deceitful
witness speaketh
lies.
In the fear
of the LORD
is strong
confidence:
and his children
shall have a place of refuge.
The fear
of the LORD
is a fountain
of life,
to depart
from the snares
of death.
In the multitude
of people
is the king's
honour:
but in the want
of people
is the destruction
of the prince.
He that is slow
to wrath
is of great
understanding:
but he that is hasty
of spirit
exalteth
folly.
A sound
heart
is the life
of the flesh:
but envy
the rottenness
of the bones.
He that oppresseth
the poor
reproacheth
his Maker:
but he that honoureth
him hath mercy
on the poor.
The wicked
is driven away
in his wickedness:
but the righteous
hath hope
in his death.
Wisdom
resteth
in the heart
of him that hath understanding:
but that which is in the midst
of fools
is made known.
Righteousness
exalteth
a nation:
but sin
is a reproach
to any people.
The king's
favour
is toward a wise
servant:
but his wrath
is against him that causeth shame.
