Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 One who loves H157 [fn]discipline H4148 loves H157 knowledge H1847,
But one who hates H8130 rebuke H8433 is stupid H1198.
2 A good H2896 person H2896 will obtain H6329 favor H7522 from the LORD H3068,
But He will condemn H7561 a person H376 [fn]who devises H4209 evil H4209.
3 A person H120 will not be established H3559 by wickedness H7562,
But the root H8328 of the righteous H6662 will not be moved H4131.
4 An [fn]excellent H2428 wife H802 is the crown H5850 of her husband H1167,
But she who shames H954 him is like rottenness H7538 in his bones H6106.
5 The thoughts H4284 of the righteous H6662 are just H4941,
But the counsels H8458 of the wicked H7563 are deceitful H4820.
6 The words H1697 of the wicked H7563 wait H693 in H693 ambush H693 for blood H1818,
But the mouth H6310 of the upright H3477 will rescue H5337 them.
7 The wicked H7563 are overthrown H2015 and are no H369 more,
But the house H1004 of the righteous H6662 will stand H5975.
8 A person H376 will be praised H1984 according H6310 to his insight H7922,
But one of perverse H5753 [fn]mind H3820 will be despised H937.
9 Better H2896 is one who is lightly H7034 esteemed H7034 and has a servant H5650,
Than H4480 one who honors H3513 himself and lacks H2638 bread H3899.
10 A righteous H6662 person H6662 has H3045 regard H3045 for the life H5315 of his animal H929,
But even the compassion H7356 of the wicked H7563 is cruel H394.
11 One who works H5647 his land H127 will have H7646 plenty H7646 of bread H3899,
But one who pursues H7291 worthless H7386 things lacks H2638 [fn]sense H3820.
12 The wicked H7563 person H7563 desires H2530 the [fn]plunder H4685 of evil H7451 people H7451,
But the root H8328 of the righteous H6662 yields H5414 fruit.
13 [fn]An evil H7451 person H7451 is ensnared H4170 by the offense H6588 of his lips H8193,
But the righteous H6662 will escape H3318 from trouble H6869.
14 A person H376 will be H7646 satisfied H7646 with good H2896 by the fruit H6529 of his [fn]words H6310,
And the deeds H1576 of a person’s H120 hands H3027 will return H7725 to him.
15 The way H1870 of a fool H191 is right H3477 in his own eyes H5869,
But a person H8085 who listens H8085 to advice H6098 is wise H2450.
16 A fool’s H191 anger H3708 is known H3045 at once H3117,
But a prudent H6175 person H6175 conceals H3680 dishonor H7036.
17 One who declares H6315 truth H530 tells H5046 what H6664 is H6664 right H6664,
But a false H8267 witness H5707, deceit H4820.
18 There H3426 is H3426 one who speaks H981 rashly H981 like the thrusts H4094 of a sword H2719,
But the tongue H3956 of the wise H2450 brings H4832 healing H4832.
19 Truthful H571 lips H8193 will endure H3559 forever H5703,
But a lying H8267 tongue H3956 is only H5704 for a moment H7280.
20 Deceit H4820 is in the heart H3820 of those who devise H2790 evil H7451,
But counselors H3289 of peace H7965 have joy H8057.
21 No H3808 H3605 harm H205 happens H579 to the righteous H6662,
But the wicked H7563 are filled H4390 with trouble H7451.
22 Lying H8267 lips H8193 are an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068,
But those who deal H6213 faithfully H530 are His delight H7522.
23 A prudent H6175 person H120 conceals H3680 knowledge H1847,
But the heart H3820 of fools H3684 proclaims H7121 foolishness H200.
24 The hand H3027 of the diligent H2742 will rule H4910,
But the [fn]lazy H7423 hand will be put to forced H4522 labor H4522.
25 Anxiety H1674 in a person’s H376 heart H3820 weighs H7812 it down H7812,
But a good H2896 word H1697 makes H8055 it glad H8055.
26 The righteous H6662 person H6662 is a guide H8446 to his neighbor H7453,
But the way H1870 of the wicked H7563 leads H8582 them astray H8582.
27 [fn]A lazy H7423 person H7423 does not [fn]roast H2760 his prey H6718,
But the precious H3368 possession H1952 of a person H120 is diligence H2742.
28 In the way H734 of righteousness H6666 there is life H2416,
And in its pathway H1870 H5410 there is no H408 death H4194.
