Proverbs 17:4-28 - ESV - An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar ...

4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.

5 Whoever mocks the poor ¹insults his Maker; he who is ²glad at calamity will not go ³unpunished.

6 ⁴Grandchildren are ⁵the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.

7 Fine speech is not ⁶becoming to a fool; still less is ⁷false speech to a prince.

8 ⁸A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.

9 Whoever ⁹covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter ¹⁰separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and ¹¹a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ¹²a she-bear robbed of her cubs ¹³rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone ¹⁴returns evil for good, ¹⁵evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ¹⁶quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who ¹⁷justifies the wicked and he who ¹⁸condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ¹⁹to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ²⁰A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who ²¹makes his door high seeks destruction.

20 ²²A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21 He who ²³sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 ²⁴A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit ²⁵dries up the bones.

23 The wicked accepts ²⁶a bribe in secret^a to ²⁷pervert the ways of justice.

24 ²⁸The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 ²⁹A foolish son is a grief to his father ³⁰and bitterness to ³¹her who bore him.

26 ³²To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

27 Whoever ³³restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

28 Even a fool ³⁴who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
