Dual Panel1A gentle <07390> response <04617> turns <07725> away anger <02534>, but a harsh <06089> word <01697> stirs up <05927> wrath <0639>.
2The tongue <03956> of the wise <02450> treats <03190> knowledge <01847> correctly <03190>, but the mouth <06310> of the fool <03684> spouts <05042> out folly <0200>.
3The eyes <05869> of the Lord <03068> are in every <03605> place <04725>, keeping watch <06822> on those who are evil <07451> and those who are good <02896>.
4Speech that heals <04832> is like a life-giving <02416> tree <06086>, but a perverse <05558> tongue <03956> breaks <07667> the spirit <07307>.
5A fool <0191> rejects <05006> his father’s <01> discipline <04148>, but whoever heeds <08104> reproof <08433> shows good sense <06191>.
6In the house <01004> of the righteous <06662> is abundant <07227> wealth <02633>, but the income <08393> of the wicked <07563> brings trouble <05916>.
7The lips <08193> of the wise <02450> spread <02219> knowledge <01847>, but not <03808> so <03651> the heart <03820> of fools <03684>.
8The Lord <03068> abhors <08441> the sacrifices <02077> of the wicked <07563>, but the prayer <08605> of the upright <03477> pleases <07522> him.
9The Lord <03068> abhors <08441> the way <01870> of the wicked <07563>, but he loves <0157> those who pursue <07291> righteousness <06666>.
10Severe <07451> discipline <04148> is for the one who abandons <05800> the way <0734>; the one who hates <08130> reproof <08433> will die <04191>.
11Death <07585> and Destruction <011> are before <05048> the Lord <03069>– how <03588> much <0637> more the hearts <03826> of humans <0120> <01121>!
12The scorner <03887> does not <03808> love <0157> one who corrects <03198> him; he will not <03808> go <01980> to <0413> the wise <02450>.
13A joyful <08056> heart <03820> makes the face <06440> cheerful <03190>, but by a painful <06094> heart <03820> the spirit <07307> is broken <05218>.
14The discerning <0995> heart <03820> seeks <01245> knowledge <01847>, but the mouth <06440> of fools <03684> feeds <07462> on folly <0200>.
15All <03605> the days <03117> of the afflicted <06041> are bad <07451>, but one with a cheerful <02896> heart <03820> has a continual <08548> feast <04960>.
16Better <02896> is little <04592> with the fear <03374> of the Lord <03068> than great <07227> wealth <0214> and turmoil <04103> with it.
17Better <02896> a meal <0737> of vegetables <03419> where there is love <0160> than a fattened <075> ox <07794> where there <08033> is hatred <08135>.
18A quick-tempered <02534> person <0376> stirs up <01624> dissension <04066>, but one who is slow <0750> to anger <0639> calms <08252> a quarrel <07379>.
19The way <01870> of the sluggard <06102> is like a hedge <04881> of thorns <02312>, but the path <0734> of the upright <03477> is like a highway <05549>.
20A wise <02450> child <01121> brings joy <08055> to his father <01>, but a foolish <03684> person <0120> despises <0959> his mother <0517>.
21Folly <0200> is a joy <08057> to one who lacks <02638> sense <03820>, but one <0376> who has understanding <08394> follows <01980> an upright course <03474>.
22Plans <04284> fail <06565> when there is no <0369> counsel <05475>, but with abundant <07230> advisers <03289> they are established <06965>.
23A person <0376> has joy <08057> in giving an appropriate <06310> answer <04617>, and a word <01697> at the right time <06256>– how <04100> good <02896> it is!
24The path <0734> of life <02416> is upward <04605> for the wise <07919> person, to <04616> keep <05493> him from going <05493> downward <04295> to Sheol <07585>.
25The Lord <03068> tears down <05255> the house <01004> of the proud <01343>, but he maintains <05324> the boundaries <01366> of the widow <0490>.
26The Lord <03068> abhors <08441> the plans <04284> of the wicked <07451>, but pleasant <05278> words <0561> are pure <02889>.
27The one who is greedy <01214> for gain <01215> troubles <05916> his household <01004>, but whoever hates <08130> bribes <04979> will live <02421>.
28The heart <03820> of the righteous <06662> considers <01897> how to answer <06030>, but the mouth <06310> of the wicked <07563> pours out <05042> evil things <07451>.
29The Lord <03068> is far <07350> from the wicked <07563>, but he hears <08085> the prayer <08605> of the righteous <06662>.
30A bright <03974> look <05869> brings joy <08055> to the heart <03820>, and good <02896> news <08052> gives health <01878> to the body <06106>.
31The person <0241> who hears <08085> the reproof <08433> that leads to life <02416> is at home <03885> among <07130> the wise <02450>.
32The one who refuses <06544> correction <04148> despises <03988> himself <05315>, but whoever hears <08085> reproof <08433> acquires <07069> understanding <03820>.
33The fear <03374> of the Lord <03068> provides wise <02451> instruction <04148>, and before <06440> honor <03519> comes humility <06038>.
