[1] A wise son listens to his father’s instruction,
but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
[2] By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things,
but the unfaithful crave violence.
[3] He who guards his mouth guards his soul.
One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
[4] The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing,
but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
[5] A righteous man hates lies,
but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.
[6] Righteousness guards the way of integrity,
but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
[7] There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing.
There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
[8] The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
but the poor hear no threats.
[9] The light of the righteous shines brightly,
but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
[10] Pride only breeds quarrels,
but wisdom is with people who take advice.
[11] Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
[12] Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
[13] Whoever despises instruction will pay for it,
but he who respects a command will be rewarded.
[14] The teaching of the wise is a spring of life,
to turn from the snares of death.
[15] Good understanding wins favor,
but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
[16] Every prudent man acts from knowledge,
but a fool exposes folly.
[17] A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
[18] Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline,
but he who heeds correction shall be honored.
[19] Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
but fools detest turning from evil.
[20] One who walks with wise men grows wise,
but a companion of fools suffers harm.
[21] Misfortune pursues sinners,
but prosperity rewards the righteous.
[22] A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
[23] An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields,
but injustice sweeps it away.
[24] One who spares the rod hates his son,
but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
[25] The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul,
but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
