American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
The man that wandereth out of the way of understandingShall rest in the assembly of {Or, the shades Hebrew: Rephaim.}the dead.
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous;And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.
It is better to dwell in a desert land,Than with {Or, a contentious woman and vexation}a contentious and fretful woman.
There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;But a foolish man swalloweth it up.
He that followeth after righteousness and kindnessFindeth life, righteousness, and honor.
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongueKeepeth his soul from troubles.
