Contrast of the Upright and the Wicked
1 A gentle H7390 answer H4617 turns H7725 away H7725 wrath H2534,
But a [fn]harsh H6089 word H1697 stirs H5927 up H5927 anger H639.
2 The tongue H3956 of the wise H2450 makes H3190 knowledge H1847 pleasant H3190,
But the mouth H6310 of fools H3684 spouts H5042 foolishness H200.
3 The eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 are in every H3605 place H4725,
Watching H6822 the evil H7451 and the good H2896.
4 A [fn]soothing H4832 tongue H3956 is a tree H6086 of life H2416,
But perversion H5558 in it [fn]crushes H7667 the spirit H7307.
5 A fool H191 [fn]rejects H5006 his father’s H1 discipline H4148,
But he who complies H8104 with H8104 rebuke H8433 is sensible H6191.
6 Great H7227 wealth H2633 is in the house H1004 of the righteous H6662,
But trouble H5916 is H5916 in the income H8393 of the wicked H7563.
7 The lips H8193 of the wise H2450 spread H2219 knowledge H1847,
But the hearts H3820 of fools H3684 are not so H3651.
8 The sacrifice H2077 of the wicked H7563 is an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068,
But the prayer H8605 of the upright H3477 is His delight H7522.
9 The way H1870 of the wicked H7563 is an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068,
But He loves H157 the one who pursues H7291 righteousness H6666.
10 There is severe H7451 punishment H4148 for one who abandons H5800 the way H734;
One who hates H8130 a rebuke H8433 will die H4191.
11 [fn]Sheol H7585 and [fn]Abaddon H11 lie open before H5048 the LORD H3068,
How H637 H3588 much H637 H3588 more H637 H3588 the hearts H3820 of [fn]mankind H1121 H120!
12 A scoffer H3887 does not love H157 one who rebukes H3198 him;
He will not go H1980 to the wise H2450.
13 A joyful H8056 heart H3820 makes H3190 a [fn]cheerful H3190 face H6440,
But [fn]when the heart H3820 is sad H6094, the spirit H7307 is broken H5218.
14 The mind H3820 of the intelligent H995 seeks H1245 knowledge H1847,
But the mouth H6310 of fools H3684 feeds H7462 on foolishness H200.
15 All H3605 the days H3117 of the [fn]needy H6041 are bad H7451,
But a [fn]cheerful H2896 heart H3820 has a continual H8548 feast H4960.
16 Better H2896 is a little H4592 with [fn]the fear H3374 of the LORD H3068
Than H4480 great H7227 treasure H214, and turmoil H4103 with [fn]the treasure.
17 Better H2896 is a portion H737 of [fn]vegetables H3419 where H8033 there is love H160,
Than H4480 a fattened H75 ox H7794 served with hatred H8135.
18 A hot-tempered H2534 person H376 stirs H1624 up H1624 strife H4066,
But the slow H750 to anger H639 calms H8252 a dispute H7379.
19 The way H1870 of the [fn]lazy H6102 one H6102 is like a hedge H4881 of thorns H2312,
But the path H734 of the upright H3477 is a highway H5549.
20 A wise H2450 son H1121 makes H8055 a father H1 glad H8055,
But a foolish H3684 man H120 despises H959 his mother H517.
21 Foolishness H200 is joy H8057 to one who H2638 lacks H2638 [fn]sense H3820,
But a person H376 of understanding H8394 walks H1980 straight H3474.
22 Without H369 consultation H5475, plans H4284 are frustrated H6565,
But with many H7230 counselors H3289 they [fn]succeed H6965.
23 A person H376 has joy H8057 in an [fn]apt H6310 answer H4617,
And how H4100 delightful H2896 is a timely H6256 word H1697!
24 The path H734 of life H2416 leads upward H4605 for the wise H7919,
So H4616 that H4616 he may keep H5493 away H5493 from [fn]Sheol H7585 below H4295.
25 The LORD H3068 will tear H5255 down H5255 the house H1004 of the proud H1343,
But He will set H5324 the boundary H1366 of the widow H490.
26 Evil H7451 plans H4284 are an abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068,
But pleasant H5278 words H561 are pure H2889.
27 He who profits H1214 illicitly H1215 troubles H5916 his own house H1004,
But he who hates H8130 bribes H4979 will live H2421.
28 The heart H3820 of the righteous H6662 ponders H1897 how to answer H6030,
But the mouth H6310 of the wicked H7563 pours H5042 out H5042 evil H7451 things H7451.
29 The LORD H3068 is far H7350 from the wicked H7563,
But He hears H8085 the prayer H8605 of the righteous H6662.
30 [fn]Bright H3974 eyes H5869 gladden H8055 the heart H3820;
Good H2896 news H8052 [fn]refreshes H1878 the bones H6106.
31 One whose ear H241 listens H8085 to a life-giving H2416 rebuke H8433
Will stay H3885 among H7130 the wise H2450.
32 One who neglects H6544 discipline H4148 rejects H3988 himself H5315,
But one who listens H8085 to a rebuke H8433 acquires H7069 [fn]understanding H3820.
33 [fn]The fear H3374 of the LORD H3068 is the instruction H4148 for wisdom H2451,
