[1] A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
[2] The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
[3] Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.
[4] A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
[5] A fool despises his father’s correction,
but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
[6] In the house of the righteous is much treasure,
but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
[7] The lips of the wise spread knowledge;
not so with the heart of fools.
[8] The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
[9] The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
[10] There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way.
Whoever hates reproof shall die.
[11] Sheolⓘ and Abaddon are before Yahweh—
how much more then the hearts of the children of men!
[12] A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved;
he will not go to the wise.
[13] A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
[14] The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,
but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
[15] All the days of the afflicted are wretched,
but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
[16] Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh,
than great treasure with trouble.
[17] Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,
than a fattened calf with hatred.
[18] A wrathful man stirs up contention,
but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
[19] The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch,
but the path of the upright is a highway.
[20] A wise son makes a father glad,
but a foolish man despises his mother.
[21] Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom,
but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
[22] Where there is no counsel, plans fail;
but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
[23] Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth.
How good is a word at the right time!
[24] The path of life leads upward for the wise,
to keep him from going downward to Sheol.ⓘ
[25] Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud,
but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
[26] Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked,
but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
[27] He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
but he who hates bribes will live.
[28] The heart of the righteous weighs answers,
but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
[29] Yahweh is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
[30] The light of the eyes rejoices the heart.
Good news gives health to the bones.
[31] The ear that listens to reproof lives,
and will be at home among the wise.
[32] He who refuses correction despises his own soul,
but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
[33] The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom.
Before honor is humility.

[3] The eyes H5869 of the Lord H3068 are in every place, H4725
Beholding H6822 the evil H7451 and the good. H2896
[4] A wholesome H4832 tongue H3956§ is a tree H6086 of life: H2416
But perverseness H5558 therein is a breach H7667 in the spirit. H7307
[5] A fool H191 despiseth H5006 his father’s H1 instruction: H4148
But he that regardeth H8104 reproof H8433 is prudent. H6191

But in the revenues H8393 of the wicked H7563 is trouble. H5916
[7] The lips H8193 of the wise H2450 disperse H2219 knowledge: H1847
But the heart H3820 of the foolish H3684 doeth not so.

Than great H7227 treasure H214 and trouble H4103 therewith.
[17] Better H2896 is a dinner H737 of herbs H3419 where love H160 is,

And a word H1697 spoken in due season, H6256§ how good H2896 is it!
[24] The way H734 of life H2416 is above H4605 to the wise, H7919
That he may depart H5493 from hell H7585 beneath. H4295
[25] The Lord H3068 will destroy H5255 the house H1004 of the proud: H1343
