1
In estrangement one seeks pretexts: with all persistence he picks a quarrel.
2
The fool takes no delight in understanding, but rather in displaying what he thinks.
3
With wickedness comes contempt, and with disgrace comes scorn.
4
The words from a man's mouth are deep waters, but the source of wisdom is a flowing brook.
5
It is not good to be partial to the guilty, and so to reject a rightful claim.
6
The fool's lips lead him into strife, and his mouth provokes a beating.
7
The fool's mouth is his ruin; his lips are a snare to his life.
8
The words of a talebearer are like dainty morsels that sink into one's inmost being.
9
The man who is slack in his work is own brother to the man who is destructive.
10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the just man runs to it and is safe.
11
The rich man's wealth is his strong city; he fancies it a high wall.
12
Before his downfall a man's heart is haughty, but humility goes before honors.
13
He who answers before he hears-- his is the folly and the shame.
14
A man's spirit sustains him in infirmity-- but a broken spirit who can bear?
15
The mind of the intelligent gains knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16
A man's gift clears the way for him, and gains him access to great men.
17
The man who pleads his case first seems to be in the right; then his opponent comes and puts him to the test.
18
The lot puts an end to disputes, and is decisive in a controversy between the mighty.
19
A brother is a better defense than a strong city, and a friend is like the bars of a castle.
20
From the fruit of his mouth a man has his fill; with the yield of his lips he sates himself.
21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who make it a friend shall eat its fruit.
22
He who finds a wife finds happiness; it is a favor he receives from the LORD.
23
The poor man implores, but the rich man answers harshly.
24
Some friends bring ruin on us, but a true friend is more loyal than a brother.
