1
Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting with strife.
2
A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share an inheritance among brothers.
3
A crucible is for silver and a smelter for gold, but the LORD is a tester of hearts.
4
A wicked person listens to malicious talk; a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
5
The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker, and one who rejoices over disaster will not go unpunished.
6
Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly, and the pride of sons is their fathers.
7
Excessive speech is not appropriate on a fool's lips; how much worse are lies for a ruler.
8
A bribe seems like a magic stone to its owner; wherever he turns, he succeeds.
9
Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.
10
A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person more than a hundred lashes into a fool.
11
An evil man seeks only rebellion; a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12
Better for a man to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his foolishness.
13
If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never depart from his house.
14
To start a conflict is to release a flood; stop the dispute before it breaks out.
15
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the just-- both are detestable to the LORD.
16
Why does a fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?
17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.
18
One without sense enters an agreement and puts up security for his friend.
19
One who loves to offend loves strife; one who builds a high threshold invites injury.
20
One with a twisted mind will not succeed, and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.
21
A man fathers a fool to his own sorrow; the father of a fool has no joy.
22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
23
A wicked man secretly takes a bribe to subvert the course of justice.
24
Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive, but a fool's eyes roam to the ends of the earth.
25
A foolish son is grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.
26
It is certainly not good to fine an innocent person, or to beat a noble for his honesty.
27
The intelligent person restrains his words, and one who keeps a cool head is a man of understanding.
28
Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent, discerning, when he seals his lips.
