24 He that saith [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou art righteous [06662]; him shall the people [05971] curse [05344], nations [03816] shall abhor [02194] him:
25 But to them that rebuke [03198] him shall be delight [05276], and a good [02896] blessing [01293] shall come [0935] upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss [05401] his lips [08193] that giveth [07725] a right [05228] answer [01697].
27 Prepare [03559] thy work [04399] without [02351], and make it fit [06257] for thyself in the field [07704]; and afterwards [0310] build [01129] thine house [01004].
28 Be not a witness [05707] against thy neighbour [07453] without cause [02600]; and deceive [06601] not with thy lips [08193].
29 Say [0559] not, I will do [06213] so to him as he hath done [06213] to me: I will render [07725] to the man [0376] according to his work [06467].
30 I went [05674] by the field [07704] of the slothful [0376] [06102], and by the vineyard [03754] of the man [0120] void [02638] of understanding [03820];
31 And, lo, it was all grown over [05927] with thorns [07063], and nettles [02738] had covered [03680] the face [06440] thereof, and the stone [068] wall [01444] thereof was broken down [02040].
32 Then I saw [02372], and considered it well [07896] [03820]: I looked [07200] upon it, and received [03947] instruction [04148].
33 Yet a little [04592] sleep [08142], a little [04592] slumber [08572], a little [04592] folding [02264] of the hands [03027] to sleep [07901]:
34 So shall thy poverty [07389] come [0935] as one that travelleth [01980]; and thy want [04270] as an armed [04043] man [0376].
3 Blessed [2128] be the God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] hath blessed [2127] us [2248] with [1722] all [3956] spiritual [4152] blessings [2129] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547]:
4 He asked [07592] life [02416] of thee, and thou gavest [05414] it him, even length [0753] of days [03117] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
24 To keep [08104] thee from the evil [07451] woman [0802], from the flattery [02513] of the tongue [03956] of a strange woman [05237].
10 I am my beloved's [01730], and his desire [08669] is toward me.
21 That make a man [0120] an offender [02398] for a word [01697], and lay a snare [06983] for him that reproveth [03198] in the gate [08179], and turn aside [05186] the just [06662] for a thing of nought [08414].
10 They hate [08130] him that rebuketh [03198] in the gate [08179], and they abhor [08581] him that speaketh [01696] uprightly [08549].
7 He that reproveth [03256] a scorner [03887] getteth [03947] to himself shame [07036]: and he that rebuketh [03198] a wicked [07563] man getteth himself a blot [03971].
33 Neither is [03426] there any daysman [03198] betwixt us, that might lay [07896] his hand [03027] upon us both [08147].
13 Say [0559], I pray thee [04994], thou art my sister [0269]: that [04616] it may be well [03190] with me for thy sake; and my soul [05315] shall live [02421] because of thee [01558].
17 Stolen [01589] waters [04325] are sweet [04985], and bread [03899] eaten in secret [05643] is pleasant [05276].
10 When wisdom [02451] entereth [0935] into thine heart [03820], and knowledge [01847] is pleasant [05276] unto thy soul [05315];
14 The mouth [06310] of strange women [02114] is a deep [06013] pit [07745]: he that is abhorred [02194] of the LORD [03068] shall fall [05307] therein.
8 Let them curse [05344] it that curse [0779] the day [03117], who are ready [06264] to raise up [05782] their mourning [03882].
26 He that withholdeth [04513] corn [01250], the people [03816] shall curse [05344] him: but blessing [01293] shall be upon the head [07218] of him that selleth [07666] it.
15 He that justifieth [06663] the wicked [07563], and he that condemneth [07561] the just [06662], even they both [08147] are abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068].
25 But to them that rebuke [03198] him shall be delight [05276], and a good [02896] blessing [01293] shall come [0935] upon them.
24 He that saith [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou art righteous [06662]; him shall the people [05971] curse [05344], nations [03816] shall abhor [02194] him:
7 Thou shalt not abhor [08581] an Edomite [0130]; for he is thy brother [0251]: thou shalt not abhor [08581] an Egyptian [04713]; because thou wast a stranger [01616] in his land [0776].
29 Then the man [0376] that lay [07901] with her shall give [05414] unto the damsel's [05291] father [01] fifty [02572] shekels of silver [03701], and she shall be his wife [0802]; because he hath humbled [06031] her, he may [03201] not put her away [07971] all his days [03117].
11 Even a child [05288] is known [05234] by his doings [04611], whether his work [06467] be pure [02134], and whether it be right [03477].
19 Thou shalt not wrest [05186] judgment [04941]; thou shalt not respect [05234] persons [06440], neither take [03947] a gift [07810]: for a gift [07810] doth blind [05786] the eyes [05869] of the wise [02450], and pervert [05557] the words [01697] of the righteous [06662].
17 Ye shall not respect [05234] persons [06440] in judgment [04941]; but ye shall hear [08085] the small [06996] as well as the great [01419]; ye shall not be afraid [01481] of the face [06440] of man [0376]; for the judgment [04941] is God's [0430]: and the cause [01697] that is too hard [07185] for you, bring [07126] it unto me, and I will hear [08085] it.
21 To have respect [05234] of persons [06440] is not good [02896]: for for a piece [06595] of bread [03899] that man [01397] will transgress [06586].
5 It is not good [02896] to accept [05375] the person [06440] of the wicked [07563], to overthrow [05186] the righteous [06662] in judgment [04941].
