Él que ama la instrucción¹ ama el conocimiento,pero el que odia la reprensión es torpe.2 El bueno alcanzará el favor del SEÑOR^a,mas Él condenará al hombre de malos designios.3 El hombre no se afianzará por medio de la impiedad^a,y la raíz de los justos no será removida^b.4 La mujer virtuosa es corona de su marido^a,mas la que lo avergüenza es como podredumbre en sus huesos^b.5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectos,los consejos de los impíos, engañosos.6 Las palabras de los impíos son asechanzas sangrientas^a,pero a los rectos su boca los librará^b.7 Los impíos son derribados y ya no existen^a,pero la casa de los justos permanecerá^b.8 El hombre será alabado conforme a su discernimiento,pero el perverso de corazón será despreciado.9 Más vale el poco estimado que tiene siervo,que el que se alaba y carece de pan.10 El justo se preocupa de la vida de su ganado^a,pero las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.11 Él que labra su tierra se saciará de pan^a,pero el que persigue lo vano carece de entendimiento¹.12 El impío codicia el botín¹ de los malos^a,pero la raíz de los justos da fruto^b.13 En la transgresión de sus labios se enreda el malvado¹,pero el justo escapará del apuro^a.14 Por el fruto de su boca cada cual se saciará de bien^a,y las obras de las manos del hombre volverán a él^b.15 El camino del necio es recto a sus propios ojos^a,mas el que escucha consejos es sabio.16 El enojo del necio^a se conoce al instante,mas el prudente oculta la deshonra.17 Él que habla¹ verdad declara lo que es justo,pero el testigo falso, falsedad.18 Hay quien habla sin tino como golpes de espada^a,pero la lengua de los sabios sana^b.19 Los labios veraces permanecerán para siempre,pero la lengua mentirosa,solo por un momento^a.20 Hay engaño en el corazón de los que traman el mal,y gozo en los consejeros de paz.21 Ningún daño sobreviene al justo^a,mas los impíos están llenos de pesares.22 Los labios mentirosos son abominación al SEÑOR^a,pero los que obran fielmente son su deleite.23 El hombre prudente oculta su conocimiento,pero el corazón de los necios proclama su necedad^a.24 La mano de los diligentes gobernará,pero la indolencia será sujeta a trabajos forzados^a.25 La ansiedad en el corazón del hombre lo deprime^a,mas la buena palabra^b lo alegra.26 El justo es guía para su prójimo,pero el camino de los impíos los extravía.27 El indolente¹ no asa² su presa,pero la posesión más preciosa del hombre es la diligencia^a.28 En la senda de la justicia está la vida^a,y en su camino no hay muerte.
