Flourishing of the Righteous
1 The man that with stiff neck contemneth him that rebuketh, sudden destruction shall come upon him: and health shall not follow him.📜💬📚
2 In the multiplication of just men, the common people shall rejoice: when the impious shall take princedom, the people shall mourn.📜💬📚
3 A man that loveth wisdom, maketh his father glad: but he that maintaineth harlots, shall destroy his substance.📜💬📚
4 A just king setteth up the land, a covetous man shall destroy it.📜💬📚
5 A man that with fair and feigned words speaketh to his friend, spreadeth a net to his steps.📜💬📚
6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man sinning: and the just shall praise and rejoice.📜💬📚
7 The just knoweth the cause of the poor: the impious is ignorant of knowledge.📜💬📚
8 Pestilent men dissipate a city: but the wise turn away fury.📜💬📚
9 A wise man, if he contend with a fool, whether he be angry, or whether he laugh, shall not find rest.📜💬📚
10 Men of blood hate the simple: but just men seek his soul.📜💬📚
11 A fool uttereth all his spirit: a wiseman deferreth and reserveth till afterward.📜💬📚
12 A Prince that gladly heareth words of lying, hath all his servants impious.📜💬📚
13 The poor man and the creditor have met one an other: our Lord is illuminator of both.📜💬📚
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be replenished for ever.📜💬📚
15 Rod and rebuke giveth wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will, confoundeth his mother.📜💬📚
16 In the multiplication of the impious, wickedness shall be multiplied, and the just shall see the ruins of them.📜💬📚
17 Nurture thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delights to thy soul.📜💬📚
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be dissipated: but he that keepeth the Law, is blessed.📜💬📚
19 A servant can not be taught by words: because he understandeth that which thou sayst, and contemneth to answer.📜💬📚
20 Hast thou seen a man swift to speak? Folly is rather to be hoped, than his amendment.📜💬📚
21 He that nourished his servant delicately from his childhood, afterward shall feel him stubborn.📜💬📚
22 An angry man provoketh brawls: and he that is easy to indignation, shall be more prone to sin.📜💬📚
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall receive the humble of spirit.📜💬📚
24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one adjuring, and telleth not.📜💬📚
25 He that feareth man, shall soon fall: he that trusteth in our Lord shall be lifted up.📜💬📚
26 Many seek after the face of the Prince: & the judgement of every one cometh forth from our Lord.📜💬📚
27 The just abhor an impious man: & the impious abhor them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be out of perdition.📜💬📚
