| 1 | The man who, with a stiff neck, treats the one who corrects him with contempt will be suddenly overwhelmed to his own destruction, and reason shall not follow him. |
| 2 | When just men are multiplied, the common people shall rejoice. When the impious take up the leadership, the people shall mourn. |
| 3 | The man who loves wisdom rejoices his father. But whoever nurtures promiscuous women will lose his substance. |

| 5 | A man who speaks to his friend with flattering and feigned words spreads a net for his own feet. |
| 6 | A snare will entangle the iniquitous when he sins. And the just shall praise and be glad. |
| 7 | The just knows the case of the poor. The impious is ignorant of knowledge. |

| 9 | A wise man, if he were to contend with the foolish, whether in anger or in laughter, would find no rest. |
| 10 | Bloodthirsty men hate the simple one; but the just seek out his soul. |
| 11 | A foolish one offers everything on his mind. A wise one reserves and defers until later. |

| 14 | The king who judges the poor in truth, his throne shall be secured in eternity. |

| 17 | Teach your son, and he will refresh you, and he will give delight to your soul. |
| 18 | When prophecy fails, the people will be scattered. Yet truly, whoever guards the law is blessed. |
| 19 | A servant cannot be taught by words, because he understands what you say, but he disdains to respond. |
| 20 | Have you seen a man rushing to speak? Foolishness has more hope than his correction. |

| 23 | Humiliation follows the arrogant. And glory shall uphold the humble in spirit. |
| 24 | Whoever participates with a thief hates his own soul; for he listens to his oath and does not denounce him. |

| 27 | The just abhor an impious man. And the impious abhor those who are on the right way. By keeping the word, the son shall be free from perdition. |
