6 Many|strong="H7227" will|strong="H7227" entreat|strong="H2470" the|strong="H3605" favour|strong="H6440" of|strong="H6440" the|strong="H3605" liberal|strong="H5081" man|strong="H5081": and|strong="H6440" every|strong="H3605" man|strong="H5081" is|strong="H3605" a|strong="H3068" friend|strong="H7453" to|strong="H6440" him|strong="H6440" that|strong="H3605" giveth gifts|strong="H4976".
7 All|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" brethren of|strong="H4480" the|strong="H3605" poor|strong="H7326" do|strong="H7326" hate|strong="H8130" him|strong="H8130": how|strong="H3588" much|strong="H3605" more|strong="H4480" do|strong="H7326" his|strong="H3605" friends|strong="H4828" go|strong="H7368" far|strong="H7368" from|strong="H4480" him|strong="H8130"! he|strong="H3588" pursueth|strong="H7291" them with words, but they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" gone|strong="H4480".

10 Delicate|strong="H8588" living is|strong="H5650" not|strong="H3808" seemly|strong="H5000" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" fool|strong="H3684"; much less|strong="H3588" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" servant|strong="H5650" to|strong="H5650" have|strong="H5650" rule|strong="H4910" over|strong="H4910" princes|strong="H8269".
11 The|strong="H5921" discretion|strong="H7922" of|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H5674" maketh him|strong="H5921" slow to|strong="H5921" anger|strong="H5674"; and|strong="H5674" it|strong="H5921" is|strong="H6588" his|strong="H5921" glory|strong="H8597" to|strong="H5921" pass|strong="H5674" over|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" transgression|strong="H6588".
12 The|strong="H5921" king|strong="H4428"’s wrath|strong="H2197" is|strong="H4428" as|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5921" roaring|strong="H5099" of|strong="H4428" a|strong="H3068" lion|strong="H3715"; but|strong="H2197" his|strong="H5921" favour|strong="H7522" is|strong="H4428" as|strong="H4428" dew|strong="H2919" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" grass|strong="H6212".

19 A|strong="H3068" man|strong="H5375" of|strong="H2534" great|strong="H1632" wrath|strong="H2534" shall|strong="H2534" bear|strong="H5375" the|strong="H3588" penalty|strong="H6066": for|strong="H3588" if|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" deliver|strong="H5337" him, thou|strong="H3588" must|strong="H5375" do|strong="H3254" it|strong="H3588" yet|strong="H5750" again|strong="H5750".
20 Hear|strong="H8085" counsel|strong="H6098", and|strong="H8085" receive|strong="H6901" instruction|strong="H4148", that|strong="H8085" thou|strong="H8085" mayest be wise|strong="H2449" in|strong="H8085" thy|strong="H8085" latter end|strong="H4616".
21 There|strong="H3068" are|strong="H3068" many|strong="H7227" devices|strong="H4284" in|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H3820"’s heart|strong="H3820"; but|strong="H1931" the|strong="H3068" counsel|strong="H6098" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068", that|strong="H1931" shall|strong="H3068" stand|strong="H6965".
22 The|strong="H2896" desire|strong="H8378" of|strong="H2617" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H7326" is|strong="H2617" the measure of his|strong="H2896" kindness|strong="H2617": and|strong="H2617" a|strong="H3068" poor|strong="H7326" man|strong="H7326" is|strong="H2617" better|strong="H2896" than|strong="H2896" a|strong="H3068" liar|strong="H3577".
23 The|strong="H3068" fear|strong="H3374" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" tendeth to|strong="H3068" life|strong="H2416": and|strong="H3068" he|strong="H3068" that hath it shall|strong="H3068" abide|strong="H3885" satisfied|strong="H7649"; he|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H3068" not|strong="H1077" be|strong="H3068" visited|strong="H6485" with|strong="H3068" evil|strong="H7451".
