1
A man who separates himself seeks his own desire; he defies all sound judgment.
2
A fool takes no delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions.
3
When the wicked comes, then comes contempt, and with dishonor comes disgrace.
4
The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters, the wellspring of wisdom is a flowing stream.
5
It is not good to favor the wicked, to subvert the righteous in judgment.
6
The lips of a fool enter into contention, and his mouth calls for a beating.
7
The mouth of a fool is his undoing; his lips are the snare of his soul.
8
The words of a slanderer are like tasty morsels; they go down into the innermost parts of the heart.
9
He who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.
11
The wealth of a rich man is his strong city, like a high wall in his own imagination.
12
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor comes humility.
13
He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.
14
The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but a wounded spirit, who can bear?
15
The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16
The gift of a man opens the way for him, and brings him before great men.
17
He who is the first to make his case seems righteous, but his neighbor comes and cross-examines him.
18
Casting lots settles disputes; and keeps the mighty apart.
19
A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle.
20
A man’s stomach will be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the harvest of his lips will he be satisfied.
21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.
23
The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly.
24
A man of many friends may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
