KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his integrity, then he that is peruerse in his lippes, and is a foole.
2 Also, that the soule be without knowledge, it is not good, and hee that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
3 The foolishnesse of man peruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
4 Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape.
6 Many will entreate the fauour of the Prince: and euery man is a friend to him that giueth gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8 He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good.
9 A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression.
12 The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping.
14 House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die.
17 Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe.
20 Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the Lord, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar.
23 The feare of the Lord tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall abide satisfied: he shall not be visited with euill.
24 A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge.
26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a sonne that causeth shame, and bringeth reproch.
27 Cease, my sonne, to heare the instruction, that causeth to erre from the words of knowledge.
28 An vngodly witnesse scorneth iudgement: and the mouth of the wicked deuoureth iniquitie.
29 Iudgements are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the backe of fooles.
