3

8

The righteous is delivered8 out of trouble, and the wicked cometh4 in his stead.

An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth55 his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.11

10

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:4 and when the wicked perish,2 [there is] shouting.

14

Where no counsel [is], the people fall:4 but in the multitude of counsellors6 [there is] safety.

15

18

The wicked worketh6 a deceitful work: but to him that soweth6 righteousness [shall be] a sure reward.

19

As righteousness [tendeth] to life: so he that pursueth18 evil [pursueth it] to his own death.

20

They that are of a froward heart [are] abomination to the LORD: but [such as are] upright in [their] way [are] his delight.

21

[Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:11 but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.8

22

[As] a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, [so is] a fair woman which is without6 discretion.

23

The desire of the righteous [is] only good: [but] the expectation of the wicked [is] wrath.

24

There is that scattereth,18 and yet increaseth;12 and [there is] that withholdeth6 more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.

25

The liberal soul shall be made fat:29 and he that watereth56 shall be watered55 also himself.

26

He that withholdeth6 corn, the people shall curse4 him: but blessing [shall be] upon the head of him that selleth56 [it].

27

He that diligently seeketh6 good procureth17 favour: but he that seeketh6 mischief, it shall come4 unto him.

28

He that trusteth6 in his riches shall fall:4 but the righteous shall flourish4 as a branch.

29

He that troubleth6 his own house shall inherit4 the wind: and the fool [shall be] servant to the wise of heart.

30

The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth6 souls [is] wise.

31

Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed29 in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.6
