1 He|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" separateth|strong="H6504" himself|strong="H6504" seeketh|strong="H1245" his own desire|strong="H8378", and|strong="H3605" rageth against|strong="H1566" all|strong="H3605" sound|strong="H8454" wisdom|strong="H8454".
2 A|strong="H3068" fool|strong="H3684" hath|strong="H8394" no|strong="H3808" delight|strong="H2654" in|strong="H2654" understanding|strong="H8394", but|strong="H3588" only|strong="H3588" that|strong="H3588" his|strong="H1540" heart|strong="H3820" may|strong="H3820" reveal|strong="H1540" itself.
3 When|strong="H1571" the|strong="H1571" wicked|strong="H7563" cometh, there cometh also|strong="H1571" contempt|strong="H2781", and|strong="H1571" with|strong="H5973" ignominy|strong="H7036" cometh reproach|strong="H2781".
4 The|strong="H1697" words|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1697" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H2451"’s mouth|strong="H6310" are|strong="H1697" as|strong="H1697" deep|strong="H6013" waters|strong="H4325"; the|strong="H1697" wellspring|strong="H4726" of|strong="H1697" wisdom|strong="H2451" is|strong="H1697" as|strong="H1697" a|strong="H3068" flowing|strong="H5042" brook|strong="H5158".
5 To|strong="H6440" accept|strong="H5375" the|strong="H6440" person|strong="H6440" of|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" wicked|strong="H7563" is|strong="H7563" not|strong="H3808" good|strong="H2896", nor to|strong="H6440" turn|strong="H5186" aside|strong="H5186" the|strong="H6440" righteous|strong="H6662" in|strong="H6440" judgment|strong="H4941".
6 A|strong="H3068" fool|strong="H3684"’s lips|strong="H8193" enter into contention|strong="H7379", and|strong="H6310" his|strong="H7121" mouth|strong="H6310" calleth|strong="H7121" for|strong="H7121" stripes|strong="H4112".
7 A|strong="H3068" fool|strong="H3684"’s mouth|strong="H6310" is|strong="H5315" his|strong="H6310" destruction|strong="H4288", and|strong="H6310" his|strong="H6310" lips|strong="H8193" are|strong="H8193" the|strong="H6310" snare|strong="H4170" of|strong="H6310" his|strong="H6310" soul|strong="H5315".
8 The|strong="H1697" words|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1697" a|strong="H3068" whisperer|strong="H5372" are|strong="H1992" as|strong="H1697" dainty|strong="H3859", morsels|strong="H3859", and|strong="H1697" they|strong="H1992" go|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" into|strong="H3381" the|strong="H1697" innermost|strong="H2315" parts|strong="H2315" of|strong="H1697" the|strong="H1697" belly.
9 He|strong="H1931" also|strong="H1571" that|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" slack|strong="H7503" in|strong="H1571" his|strong="H7843" work|strong="H4399" is|strong="H1931" brother to|strong="H7843" him|strong="H1931" that|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" a|strong="H3068" destroyer|strong="H7843".
10 The|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" strong|strong="H5797" tower|strong="H4026": the|strong="H3068" righteous|strong="H6662" runneth|strong="H7323" into|strong="H5797" it|strong="H8034", and|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" safe|strong="H7682".
11 The|strong="H7682" rich|strong="H6223" man|strong="H6223"’s wealth|strong="H1952" is his|strong="H5797" strong|strong="H5797" city|strong="H7151", and|strong="H5797" as an high|strong="H7682" wall|strong="H2346" in|strong="H2346" his|strong="H5797" own imagination|strong="H4906".
12 Before|strong="H6440" destruction|strong="H7667" the|strong="H6440" heart|strong="H3820" of|strong="H6440" man|strong="H6440" is|strong="H3820" haughty|strong="H1361", and|strong="H6440" before|strong="H6440" honour|strong="H3519" goeth humility|strong="H6038".
13 He|strong="H1931" that|strong="H8085" giveth|strong="H1697" answer|strong="H7725" before|strong="H2962" he|strong="H1931" heareth|strong="H8085", it|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" folly and|strong="H7725" shame|strong="H3639" unto|strong="H7725" him|strong="H7725".
14 The|strong="H5375" spirit|strong="H7307" of|strong="H7307" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H5375" will|strong="H4310" sustain|strong="H3557" his|strong="H5375" infirmity|strong="H4245"; but a|strong="H3068" broken|strong="H5218" spirit|strong="H7307" who|strong="H4310" can|strong="H4310" bear|strong="H5375"?
15 The|strong="H1245" heart|strong="H3820" of|strong="H3820" the|strong="H1245" prudent getteth|strong="H7069" knowledge|strong="H1847"; and|strong="H3820" the|strong="H1245" ear of|strong="H3820" the|strong="H1245" wise|strong="H2450" seeketh|strong="H1245" knowledge|strong="H1847".
16 A|strong="H3068" man|strong="H1419"’s gift|strong="H4976" maketh|strong="H4976" room|strong="H7337" for|strong="H6440" him|strong="H6440", and|strong="H1419" bringeth|strong="H5148" him|strong="H6440" before|strong="H6440" great|strong="H1419" men|strong="H1419".
17 He that|strong="H6662" pleadeth his|strong="H7453" cause|strong="H7379" first|strong="H7223" seemeth just|strong="H6662"; but|strong="H6662" his|strong="H7453" neighbour|strong="H7453" cometh and|strong="H7223" searcheth|strong="H2713" him out|strong="H2713".
18 The|strong="H6504" lot|strong="H1486" causeth|strong="H1486" contentions|strong="H4079" to|strong="H7673" cease|strong="H7673", and|strong="H6099" parteth|strong="H6504" between the|strong="H6504" mighty|strong="H6099".
19 A|strong="H3068" brother offended|strong="H6586" is harder to be won than a|strong="H3068" strong|strong="H5797" city|strong="H7151": and|strong="H5797" such contentions|strong="H4066" are|strong="H1280" like the|strong="H5797" bars|strong="H1280" of|strong="H7151" a|strong="H3068" castle.
20 A|strong="H3068" man’s belly shall|strong="H6310" be|strong="H6310" filled|strong="H7646" with|strong="H7646" the|strong="H7646" fruit|strong="H6529" of|strong="H6310" his|strong="H6310" mouth|strong="H6310"; with|strong="H7646" the|strong="H7646" increase|strong="H8393" of|strong="H6310" his|strong="H6310" lips|strong="H8193" shall|strong="H6310" he|strong="H8193" be|strong="H6310" satisfied|strong="H7646".
21 Death|strong="H4194" and|strong="H3027" life|strong="H2416" are|strong="H3027" in|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3027" power|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3027" tongue|strong="H3956"; and|strong="H3027" they|strong="H3027" that|strong="H2416" love it shall|strong="H3027" eat the|strong="H3027" fruit|strong="H6529" thereof|strong="H2416".
22 Whoso findeth|strong="H4672" a|strong="H3068" wife findeth|strong="H4672" a|strong="H3068" good|strong="H2896" thing|strong="H2896", and|strong="H3068" obtaineth|strong="H6329" favour|strong="H7522" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068".
23 The|strong="H1696" poor|strong="H7326" useth|strong="H1696" entreaties: but|strong="H6030" the|strong="H1696" rich|strong="H6223" answereth|strong="H6030" roughly|strong="H5794".
24 He|strong="H3426" that|strong="H3426" maketh many friends|strong="H7453" doeth it to|strong="H7453" his|strong="H7453" own destruction: but|strong="H7489" there|strong="H3426" is|strong="H3426" a|strong="H3068" friend|strong="H7453" that|strong="H3426" sticketh closer|strong="H1695" than a|strong="H3068" brother|strong="H7453".
