1
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2
It is not good for the soul to be without knowledge, and he misses the way who is hasty with his feet.
3
The folly of man subverts his way, and his heart rages against the Lord.
4
Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape.
6
Many will entreat the favor of the prince, and every man is the friend to a man who gives gifts.
7
All the brothers of the poor hate him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with words, yet they abandon him.
8
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will find good.
9
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will perish.
10
Luxury is not fitting for a fool, much less for a servant to rule over princes.
11
The discretion of a man defers his anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12
The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13
A foolish son is the ruin of his father, and the quarrels of a wife are a constant dripping.
14
House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15
Slothfulness casts a man into a deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
16
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is reckless in his ways will die.
17
He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay what he has given.
18
Discipline your son while there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
19
A man of great temper will pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you must do it again.
20
Listen to counsel and accept instruction, that you may be wise in your future.
21
Many are the plans in the heart of a man, but it is the counsel of the Lord that will stand.
22
What is desirable in a man is kindness, and it is better to be poor than to be a liar.
23
The fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it will rest secure; he will not be visited by evil.
24
A sluggard hides his hand in the bowl; he will not bring it to his mouth again.
25
Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn what is prudent; reprove one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26
He who plunders his father and evicts his mother is a shameful and disgraceful son.
27
Cease, my son, to hear instruction, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28
A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
29
Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
