American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah;But {Or, the pure speak pleasant words}pleasant words are pure.
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;But he that hateth bribes shall live.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer;But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Jehovah is far from the wicked;But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart;And good tidings make the bones fat.
The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of lifeShall abide among the wise.
He that refuseth {Or, instruction}correction despiseth his own soul;But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth {Hebrew: heart.}understanding.
The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom;And before honor goeth humility.
