American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Whoso despiseth the word {Or, maketh himself a debtor thereto}bringeth destruction on himself;But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
The {Or, teaching}law of the wise is a fountain of life,That one may depart from the snares of death.
Good understanding {Or, getteth}giveth favor;But the way of the transgressor is hard.
Every prudent man worketh with knowledge;But a fool flaunteth his folly.
A wicked messenger falleth into evil;But a faithful ambassador is health.
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth {Or, instruction}correction;But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
