Proverbs Chapter 13

1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not 
rebuke.

2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the 
transgressors shall eat violence.

3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide 
his lips shall have destruction.

4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of 
the diligent shall be made fat.

5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and 
cometh to shame.

6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness 
overthroweth the sinner.

7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that 
maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not 
rebuke.

9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall 
be put out.

10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by 
labour shall increase.

12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it 
is a tree of life.

13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the 
commandment shall be rewarded.

14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares 
of death.

15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his 
folly.

17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador 
is health.

18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he 
that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination 
to fools to depart from evil.

20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools 
shall be destroyed.

21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the 
wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is 
destroyed for want of judgment.

24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him 
chasteneth him betimes.

25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of 
the wicked shall want.

Proverbs Chapter 14

1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down 
with her hands.

2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is 
perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the 
wise shall preserve them.

4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the 
strength of the ox.

5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy 
unto him that understandeth.

7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him 
the lips of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of 
fools is deceit.

9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not 
intermeddle with his joy.

11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of 
the upright shall flourish.

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof 
are the ways of death.

13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is 
heaviness.

14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good 
man shall be satisfied from himself.

15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to 
his going.

16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and 
is confident.

17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices 
is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the 
righteous.

20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many 
friends.

21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on 
the poor, happy is he.

22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to 
them that devise good.

23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only 
to penury.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools 
is folly.

25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall 
have a place of refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares 
of death.

28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of 
people is the destruction of the prince.

29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is 
hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of 
the bones.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that 
honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath 
hope in his death.

33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that 
which is in the midst of fools is made known.

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against 
him that causeth shame.

Proverbs Chapter 15

1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools 
poureth out foolishness.

3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a 
breach in the spirit.

5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth 
reproof is prudent.

6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of 
the wicked is trouble.

7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish 
doeth not so.

8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the 
prayer of the upright is his delight.

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth 
him that followeth after righteousness.

10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that 
hateth reproof shall die.

11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the 
hearts of the children of men?

12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto 
the wise.

13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the 
heart the spirit is broken.

14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the 
mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry 
heart hath a continual feast.

16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and 
trouble therewith.

17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and 
hatred therewith.

18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger 
appeaseth strife.

19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of 
the righteous is made plain.

20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of 
understanding walketh uprightly.

22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of 
counsellors they are established.

23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due 
season, how good is it!

24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell 
beneath.

25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish 
the border of the widow.

26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the 
words of the pure are pleasant words.

27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth 
gifts shall live.

28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the 
wicked poureth out evil things.

29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the 
righteous.

30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh 
the bones fat.

31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that 
heareth reproof getteth understanding.

33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour 
is humility.
