14 ¹The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.

15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but ²the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.

16 ³Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it.

17 ⁴Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than ⁵a fattened ox and hatred with it.

18 ⁶A hot-tempered man ⁷stirs up strife, but he who is ⁸slow to anger quiets contention.

19 The way of ⁹a sluggard is like a hedge of ¹⁰thorns, but the path of the upright is ¹¹a level highway.

20 ¹²A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

21 ¹³Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, but a man of understanding ¹⁴walks straight ahead.

22 ¹⁵Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.

23 To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and ¹⁶a word in season, how good it is!

24 The path of life leads upward ¹⁷for the prudent, that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.

25 The LORD tears down the house of ¹⁸the proud but ¹⁹maintains ²⁰the widow's boundaries.

26 ²¹The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but ²²gracious words are pure.

27 Whoever is ²³greedy for unjust gain ²⁴troubles his own household, but he who hates ²⁵bribes will live.

28 The heart of the righteous ²⁶ponders how to answer, but ²⁷the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

29 The LORD is ²⁸far from the wicked, but he ²⁹hears the prayer of the righteous.

30 ³⁰The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and ³¹good news refreshes^a the bones.

31 ³²The ear that listens to ³³life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.

32 Whoever ³⁴ignores instruction ³⁵despises himself, but he who listens to reproof ³⁶gains intelligence.

33 ³⁷The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and ³⁸humility comes before honor.
