1
Happy is the man with a level-headed son; sad the mother of a rebel.
2
Ill-gotten gain brings no lasting happiness; right living does.
3
The Lord will not let a good man starve to death, nor will he let the wicked man's riches continue forever.
4
Lazy men are soon poor; hard workers get rich.
5
A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity.
6
The good man is covered with blessings from head to foot, but an evil man inwardly curses his luck.
7
We all have happy memories of good men gone to their reward, but the names of wicked men stink after them.
8
The wise man is glad to be instructed, but a self-sufficient fool falls flat on his face.
9
A good man has firm footing, but a crook will slip and fall.
10
Winking at sin leads to sorrow; bold reproof leads to peace.
11
There is living truth in what a good man says, but the mouth of the evil man is filled with curses.
12
Hatred stirs old quarrels, but love overlooks insults.
13
Men with common sense are admired as counselors; those without it are beaten as servants.
14
A wise man holds his tongue. Only a fool blurts out everything he knows; that only leads to sorrow and trouble.
15
The rich man's wealth is his only strength. The poor man's poverty is his only curse.
16
The good man's earnings advance the cause of righteousness. The evil man squanders his on sin.
17
Anyone willing to be corrected is on the pathway to life. Anyone refusing has lost his chance.
18
To hide hatred is to be a liar; to slander is to be a fool.
19
Don't talk so much. You keep putting your foot in your mouth. Be sensible and turn off the flow!
20
When a good man speaks, he is worth listening to, but the words of fools are a dime a dozen.
21
A godly man gives good advice, but a rebel is destroyed by lack of common sense.
22
The Lord's blessing is our greatest wealth. All our work adds nothing to it!
23
A fool's fun is being bad; a wise man's fun is being wise!
24
The wicked man's fears will all come true and so will the good man's hopes.
25
Disaster strikes like a cyclone and the wicked are whirled away. But the good man has a strong anchor.
26
A lazy fellow is a pain to his employers—like smoke in their eyes or vinegar that sets the teeth on edge.
27
Reverence for God adds hours to each day; so how can the wicked expect a long, good life?
28
The hope of good men is eternal happiness; the hopes of evil men are all in vain.
29
God protects the upright but destroys the wicked.
30
The good shall never lose God's blessings, but the wicked shall lose everything.
31
The good man gives wise advice, but the liar's counsel is shunned.
32
The upright speak what is helpful; the wicked speak rebellion.
