A Father's Discipline
1 A wise son is the doctrine of the father: but he that is a scorner, heareth not when he is rebuked.📜💬📚
2 Of the fruit of his own mouth man shall be filled with good things: but the soul of the prevaricators is wicked.📜💬📚
3 He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that is unadvised to speak shall feel evils.📜💬📚
4 The sluggard will and will not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.📜💬📚
5 The just shall detest a lying word: but the impious confoundeth, and shall be confounded.📜💬📚
6 Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but impiety supplanteth the sinner.📜💬📚
7 There is one as it were with riches whereas he hath nothing: and there is as it were poor, whereas he is in much riches.📜💬📚
8 The redemption of a man's life, his riches: but he that is poor, beareth not reprehension.📜💬📚
9 The light of the just maketh glad: but the candle of the impious shall be extinguished.📜💬📚
10 Among the proud there are always brawls: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.📜💬📚
11 Substance hastened shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand, shall be multiplied.📜💬📚
12 Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: a tree of life the desire of ckoning.📜💬📚
13 Who so detracteth from any thing, he bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the precept, shall converse in peace. Guileful souls err in sins: the just are merciful & have pity.📜💬📚
14 The law of a wise man a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.📜💬📚
15 Good doctrine shall give grace: in the way of contemners a whirlpool.📜💬📚
16 The subtle man doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool openeth folly.📜💬📚
17 The messenger of the impious shall fall into evil: but a faithful legate, is health.📜💬📚
18 Poverty, and ignominy, to him that forsaketh discipline: but he that yieldeth to him that rebuketh, shall be glorified.📜💬📚
19 Desire if it be accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools detest them that fly evil things.📜💬📚
20 He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall be made like.📜💬📚
21 Evil pursueth sinners, and to the just good things shall be repayed.📜💬📚
22 The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and nephews: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just.📜💬📚
23 Much meat in the tilled grounds of the fathers: and to others they are gathered without judgment.📜💬📚
24 He that spareth the rod, hateth his child: but he that loveth him doth instantly nurture him.📜💬📚
25 The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the impious unsatiable.📜💬📚
