1 Better H2896 AMS [ is ] a dry H2720 morsel H6595 , and quietness H7962 therewith , than a house H1004 M-NMS full H4392 of sacrifices H2077 [ with ] strife H7379 .
2 A wise H7919 servant H5650 shall have rule H4910 over a son H1121 that causeth shame H954 , and shall have part H2505 of the inheritance H5159 among H8432 the brethren H251 NMP .
3 The refining pot H4715 [ is ] for silver H3701 LD-NMS , and the furnace H3564 for gold H2091 LD-NMS : but the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS trieth H974 the hearts H3826 .
4 A wicked doer H7489 giveth heed H7181 to H5921 PREP false H205 NMS lips H8193 CFS ; [ and ] a liar H8267 NMS giveth ear H238 to H5921 PREP a naughty H1942 tongue H3956 L-CMS .

7 Excellent H3499 speech H8193 CFS becometh H5000 not H3808 NADV a fool H5036 : much less H637 CONJ do lying H8267 lips H8193 CFS a prince H5081 .
8 A gift H7810 [ is ] [ as ] a precious H2580 NMS stone H68 in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of him that hath H1167 it : whithersoever H3605 NMS it turneth H6437 VQY3MS , it prospereth H7919 .
9 He that covereth H3680 a transgression H6588 seeketh H1245 love H160 ; but he that repeateth H8138 a matter H1697 separateth H6504 [ very ] friends H441 .
10 A reproof H1606 entereth more H5181 into a wise H995 man than a hundred H3967 stripes H5221 into a fool H3684 NMS .
11 An evil H7451 AMS [ man ] seeketh H1245 only H389 ADV rebellion H4805 CMS : therefore a cruel H394 messenger H4397 W-NMS shall be sent H7971 against him .

14 The beginning H7225 CFS of strife H4066 [ is ] [ as ] when one letteth out H6362 water H4325 OMD : therefore leave off H5203 contention H7379 , before H6440 WL-CMP it be meddled with H1566 .
15 He that justifieth H6663 the wicked H7563 AMS , and he that condemneth H7561 the just H6662 AMS , even H1571 CONJ they both H8147 [ are ] abomination H8441 to the LORD H3068 EDS .
16 Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO [ is ] [ there ] a price H4242 in the hand H3027 B-CFS of a fool H3684 NMS to get H7069 wisdom H2451 NFS , seeing [ he ] [ hath ] no H369 heart H3820 [ to ] [ it ] ?
17 A friend H7453 loveth H157 at all H3605 B-CMS times H6256 NMS , and a brother H251 is born H3205 VNY3MS for adversity H6869 .
18 A man H120 NMS void H2638 JMS of understanding H3820 NMS striketh H8628 hands H3709 , [ and ] becometh H6148 surety H6161 in the presence H6440 L-CMP of his friend H7453 CMS-3MS .
19 He loveth H157 transgression H6588 that loveth H157 strife H4683 : [ and ] he that exalteth H1361 his gate H6607 seeketh H1245 destruction H7667 .
20 He that hath a froward H6141 heart H3820 NMS findeth H4672 VQY3MS no H3808 NADV good H2896 AMS : and he that hath a perverse H2015 tongue H3956 falleth H5307 into mischief H7451 .
21 He that begetteth H3205 a fool H3684 NMS [ doeth ] [ it ] to his sorrow H8424 : and the father H1 CMS-1MS of a fool H5036 hath no H3808 W-NPAR joy H8055 .
22 A merry H8056 heart H3820 NMS doeth good H3190 [ like ] a medicine H1456 : but a broken H5218 spirit H7307 W-GFS drieth H3001 the bones H1634 .
23 A wicked H7563 AMS [ man ] taketh H3947 a gift H7810 out of the bosom H2436 to pervert H5186 the ways H734 CFP of judgment H4941 NMS .
24 Wisdom H2451 NFS [ is ] before H854 PREP him that hath understanding H995 ; but the eyes H5869 W-CMD of a fool H3684 [ are ] in the ends H7097 of the earth H776 GFS .
25 A foolish H3684 NMS son H1121 NMS [ is ] a grief H3708 to his father H1 , and bitterness H4470 to her that bore H3205 him .
26 Also H1571 CONJ to punish H6064 the just H6662 [ is ] not H3808 NADV good H2896 AMS , [ nor ] to strike H5221 L-VHFC princes H5081 AMP for H5921 PREP equity H3476 CMS .
27 He that hath knowledge H3045 VQPMS spareth H2820 his words H561 CMP-3MS : [ and ] a man H376 NMS of understanding H8394 NFS is of an excellent H3368 spirit H7307 .
