Proverbs 15:16-33
16BetterH2896 a littleH4592 with the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 than greatH7227 treasureH214 with turmoilH4103.
17BetterH2896 a dishH737 of vegetablesH3419 whereH8033 there is loveH160than a fattenedH75 oxH7794 with hatredH8135.
18A hot-temperedH2534 manH376 stirs upH1624 strifeH4066,but he who is slowH750 to angerH639 calmsH8252 disputeH7379.
19The wayH1870 of the slackerH6102 is like a hedgeH4881 of thornsH2312,but the pathH734 of the uprightH3477 is a highwayH5549.
20A wiseH2450 sonH1121 brings joyH8055 to his fatherH1,but a foolishH3684 manH120 despisesH959 his motherH517.
21FollyH200 is joyH8057 to one who lacksH2638 judgmentH3820,but a manH376 of understandingH8394 walksH1980 a straight pathH3474.
22PlansH4284 failH6565 for lackH369 of counselH5475,but with manyH7230 advisersH3289 they succeedH6965.
23A manH376 takes joyH8057 in a fitting replyH4617H6310—and howH4100 good isH2896 a timelyH6256 wordH1697!
24The pathH734 of lifeH2416 leads upwardH4605 for the wiseH7919,thatH4616 he may avoidH5493 going downH4295 to SheolH7585.
25The LORDH3068 tears downH5255 the houseH1004 of the proudH1343,but He protectsH5324 the boundariesH1366 of the widowH490.
26The LORDH3068 detestsH8441 the thoughtsH4284 of the wickedH7451,but the wordsH561 of the pureH2889 are pleasantH5278 to Him.
27He who is greedyH1214 for unjust gainH1215 brings troubleH5916 on his householdH1004,but he who hatesH8130 bribesH4979 will liveH2421.
28The heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 pondersH1897 how to answerH6030,but the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 blurts outH5042 evilH7451.
29The LORDH3068 is farH7350 from the wickedH7563,but He hearsH8085 the prayerH8605 of the righteousH6662.
30The lightH3974 of the eyesH5869 cheersH8055 the heartH3820,and goodH2896 newsH8052 nourishesH1878 the bonesH6106.
