Proverbs 15:16-33
16Better is littleH4592, with the fearH3374 of Jehovah,Than greatH7227 treasureH214 and trouble therewith.17Better is a dinner of herbs, where loveH160 is,Than a stalled oxH7794 and hatredH8135 therewith.18A wrathful manH376 stirreth up contentionH4066;But he that is slow to angerH639 appeaseth strifeH7379.19The wayH1870 of the sluggardH6102 is as a hedgeH4881 of thorns;But the pathH734 of the uprightH3477 is made a highway.20A wiseH2450 sonH1121 maketh a gladH8055 fatherH1;But a foolish manH120 despiseth his motherH517.21FollyH200 is joyH8057 to him that is void of wisdom;But a manH376 of understandingH8394 maketh straightH3474 his going.22Where there is no counselH3289, purposes are disappointed;But in the multitudeH7230 of counsellors they are establishedH6965.23A manH376 hath joyH8057 in the answerH4617 of his mouthH6310;And a wordH1697 in due season, howH4100 goodH2896 is it!24To the wiseH7919 the wayH734 of lifeH2416goethupwardH4605,That he may departH5493 from SheolH7585 beneath.25Jehovah will root up the houseH1004 of the proudH1343;But he will establishH5324 the borderH1366 of the widowH490.26EvilH7451 devices are an abominationH8441 to Jehovah;But pleasant wordsH561arepureH2889.27He that is greedy of gainH1215 troubleth his own houseH1004;But he that hateth bribes shall liveH2421.28The heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 studieth to answerH6030;But the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 poureth out evilH7451 things.29Jehovah is farH7350 from the wickedH7563;But he heareth the prayerH8605 of the righteousH6662.30The lightH3974 of the eyesH5869 rejoiceth the heartH3820;AndgoodH2896 tidings makeH8055 the bonesH6106 fatH1878.31The earH241 that hearkeneth to the reproof of lifeH2416Shall abide among the wiseH2450.32He that refuseth correctionH4148 despiseth his ownH5315 soulH5315;But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.33The fearH3374 of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdomH2451;And before honorH3519goethhumilityH6038.
