5 ¹The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

6 The words of the wicked ²lie in wait for blood, but ³the mouth of the upright delivers them.

7 ⁴The wicked are ⁵overthrown and are no more, ⁶but the house of the righteous will stand.

8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is ⁷despised.

9 Better to be lowly and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread.

10 ⁸Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

11 ⁹Whoever works his land ¹⁰will have plenty of bread, ¹¹but he who follows ¹²worthless pursuits lacks sense.

12 Whoever is wicked covets ¹³the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

13 An evil man is ensnared ¹⁴by the transgression of his lips, ¹⁵but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14 From the fruit of his mouth ¹⁶a man is satisfied with good, ¹⁷and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

15 ¹⁸The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

16 ¹⁹The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.

17 ²⁰Whoever speaks^a the truth gives honest evidence, but ²¹a false witness utters deceit.

18 ²²There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings ²³healing.

19 Truthful lips endure forever, but ²⁴a lying tongue is but for a moment.

20 Deceit is in the heart of ²⁵those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.

21 ²⁶No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.

22 ²⁷Lying lips are ²⁸an abomination to the LORD, ²⁹but those who act faithfully are his delight.

23 ³⁰A prudent man conceals knowledge, ³¹but the heart of fools proclaims folly.

24 ³²The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be ³³put to forced labor.

25 ³⁴Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,^b but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

27 ³⁵Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.^c

28 ³⁶In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
