but
a scorner hears not rebuke.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth . . .
but
the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

shall
have destruction.
4
The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing . . .
but
the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

but
a wicked man is loathsome,
and
comes to shame.
6
Righteousness keeps him that is Upright in the Way . . .

the poor hears not rebuke.

{Verses
10-16 are Tree of Life (doctrine) verses. See Revelation 2:7}
10~~Through
arrogance comes nothing but strife,
but
wisdom is found in those who take advice.
{Honest
Labor}
11~~Dishonest
money dwindles away,
but
he who gathers money little by little
makes
it grow.
12~~Hope
deferred makes the right lobe/'heart sick,
but
desire fulfilled . . . is a tree of life.
{Note: You will never find happiness in your hope of getting something you associate with happiness. Your happiness will only come by feeding on the tree of life - bible doctrine.}
13~~The
one who despises the Word shall be destroyed,
but
the one that respects the mandate/commandment
of
'Elohiym/Godhead will be rewarded.
{Integral
Distich}
14~~The
'law of the wise'/'teaching of a wise pastor' . . .
is
a fountain of life . . .
'to
depart from'/turning a person from the snares of death.
{Note: Bible doctrine is the only true 'fountain of eternal youth'. And the 'snares of death' is 'temporal death' - being out of fellowship with God in time.}
{Note: A distich is two lines of poetry. An 'Integral Distich' is a distich where the second line completes the thought of the first line and that is what we have here.}
15~~
Good understanding {of doctrine} wins favor,
but
the way of the unfaithful does not endure.
16~~Every
wise person acts out of knowledge {of doctrine},
but
a fool {cosmic believer} exposes his folly.
17
A wicked messenger falls into mischief . . .
but
a faithful ambassador is health.
18
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction . . .
but
he that regards reproof shall be honored.
19
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul . . .
but
it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20
He that Walks with wise men shall be wise . . .
but
a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21
Evil pursues sinners . . .
but
to the righteous . . .
good
shall be repaid.
22
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children . . .
and
the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23
Much food is in the tillage of the poor . . .
but
there is that which is destroyed for want of judgment.
24
He that spares his rod hates his son . . .
but
he that loves him chastens him betimes.
25
The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul . . .
but
the belly of the wicked shall want.
