Proverbs 15:16-33

16Better is littleH4592 with the fearH3374 of Jehovah than greatH7227 store and disquietude therewith. 17Better is a meal of herbs where loveH160 is, than a fatted oxH7794 and hatredH8135 therewith. 18A furious 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 plain. 20A wiseH2450 sonH1121 maketh a gladH8055 fatherH1; but a foolish manH120 despiseth his motherH517. 21FollyH200 is joyH8057 to him that is void of sense; but a manH376 of understandingH8394 regulateth his walk. 22Without counselH3289 purposes are disappointed; but in the multitudeH7230 of counsellors they are establishedH6965. 23A manH376 hath joyH8057 by the answerH4617 of his mouthH6310; and a wordH1697 in its season, howH4100 goodH2896 is it! 24The pathH734 of lifeH2416 is upwardsH4605 for the wiseH7919, that he may departH5493 from SheolH7585 beneath. 25Jehovah plucketh up the houseH1004 of the proudH1343; but he establisheth the boundaryH1366 of the widowH490. 26The thoughtsH4284 of the evilH7451 [man] are an abominationH8441 to Jehovah; but pureH2889 wordsH561 are pleasant. 27He that is greedy of gainH1215 troubleth his own houseH1004; but he that hateth giftsH4979 shall liveH2421. 28The heartH3820 of a righteousH6662 [man] 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. 30That which enlighteneth the eyesH5869 rejoiceth the heartH3820; goodH2896 tidings makeH8055 the bonesH6106 fatH1878. 31The earH241 that heareth the reproof of lifeH2416 shall abide among the wiseH2450. 32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his ownH5315 soulH5315; but he that heareth reproof getteth sense. 33The fearH3374 of Jehovah is the disciplineH4148 of wisdomH2451, and before honour [goeth] humilityH6038.
