Key: (H)ub (G)ateway (S)trong's New Defender's Other |
|
1 | Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. | H · G · S |
2 | A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. | H · G · S |
3 | The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. | H · G · S fining pot |
4 | A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. | H · G · S |
5 | Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. | H · G · S |
6 | Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. | H · G · S their fathers |
7 | Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | H · G · S |
8 | A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. | H · G · S |
9 | He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. | H · G · S |
10 | A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. | H · G · S |
11 | An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. | H · G · S |
12 | Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. | H · G · S |
13 | Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. | H · G · S |
14 | The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. | H · G · S |
15 | He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. | H · G · S |
16 | Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? | H · G · S |
17 | A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. | H · G · S |
18 | A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. | H · G · S |
19 | He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. | H · G · S |
20 | He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. | H · G · S froward |
21 | He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. | H · G · S |
22 | A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | H · G · S like a medicine |
23 | A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. | H · G · S |
24 | Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. | H · G · S |
25 | A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. | H · G · S |
26 | Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. | H · G · S |
27 | He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. | H · G · S spareth his words excellent spirit |
28 |
Even a fool, when he
holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips
is esteemed a man of understanding.

H · G · S |
