1 ¹A soft answer turns away wrath, but ²a harsh word stirs up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but ³the mouths of fools pour out folly.

3 ⁴The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

4 ⁵A gentle^a tongue is ⁶a tree of life, but ⁷perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

5 ⁸A fool ⁹despises his father's instruction, but ¹⁰whoever heeds reproof is prudent.

6 In the house of the righteous there is much treasure, but trouble befalls the income of the wicked.

7 ¹¹The lips of the wise spread knowledge; ¹²not so the hearts of fools.^b

8 ¹³The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but ¹⁴the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him ¹⁵who pursues righteousness.

10 There is ¹⁶severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; ¹⁷whoever hates reproof will die.

11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more ¹⁸the hearts of the children of man!

12 ¹⁹A scoffer ²⁰does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.

13 ²¹A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by ²²sorrow of heart the spirit is ²³crushed.

14 ²⁴The 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 ²⁵the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.

16 ²⁶Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it.

17 ²⁷Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than ²⁸a fattened ox and hatred with it.

18 ²⁹A hot-tempered man ³⁰stirs up strife, but he who is ³¹slow to anger quiets contention.

19 The way of ³²a sluggard is like a hedge of ³³thorns, but the path of the upright is ³⁴a level highway.

20 ³⁵A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

21 ³⁶Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, but a man of understanding ³⁷walks straight ahead.

22 ³⁸Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.
