 1 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes.    2 From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,   but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.  3 Those who guard their lips   preserve their lives,   but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.    4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,   but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.  5 The righteous hate what is false,   but the wicked make themselves a stench and bring shame on themselves.  6 Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.    7 One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;   another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.    8 A person’s riches may ransom their life, but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.    9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.    10 Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.    11 Dishonest money dwindles away,   but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.  12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.    13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it,   but whoever respects   a command is rewarded.    14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,   turning a person from the snares of death.    15 Good judgment wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.   16 All who are prudent act with  knowledge, but fools expose   their folly.    17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,   but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.    18 Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame,   but whoever heeds correction is honored.    19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,   but fools detest turning from evil.  20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.    21 Trouble pursues the sinner,   but the righteous   are rewarded with good things.    22 A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.    23 An unplowed field produces food for the poor, but injustice sweeps it away.  24 Whoever spares the rod   hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline   them.    25 The righteous eat to their hearts’ content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.  

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
