5 Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.5 Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love. 5 Better is open reproof than hidden love.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy.
7 A sated man loathes honey, But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.7 The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb : and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet. 7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his home.8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place. 8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So is a man wandering from his place.
9 Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend.9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.9 Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel.9 Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul. 9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul.

12 A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, The naive proceed and pay the penalty.12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.12 A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and'suffer for it.12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses. 12 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished.

16 He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.16 He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil.16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand. 16 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out.

19 As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man.19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.19 As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.19 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so the hearts of men are laid open to the wise. 19 As in water the face is to face, So the heart of man to man.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied.20 Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied. 20 Sheol and destruction are not satisfied, And the eyes of man are not satisfied.
NASBKJVASVDRBYLT
21 The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each is tested by the praise accorded him.21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.21 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.21 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge. 21 A refining pot is for silver, and a furnace for gold, And a man according to his praise.
22 Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain, Yet will not his foolishness depart from him.22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him. 22 If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed things -- with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off him.
23 Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, And look well to thy herds:23 Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks : 23 Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the droves,
24 For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown endure to all generations.24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?24 For riches are not for ever: And doth the crown endure unto all generations?24 For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation. 24 For riches are not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation.
25 When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.25 The hay is carried, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in.25 The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains. 25 Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And gathered the herbs of mountains.
