| 1 | Better is the poor who walks in his simplicity, than the rich who twists his lips and is unwise. |
| 2 | Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good. And whoever hurries with his feet will stumble. |
| 3 | The foolishness of a man undermines his steps. And then he seethes in his soul against God. |
| 4 | Riches adds many friends. But from the pauper, even those whom he had become separated. |
| 5 | A false witness shall not go unpunished. And whoever speaks lies will not escape. |
| 6 | Many honor the character of one who is powerful, and there are friends for a giver of gifts. |
| 7 | The brothers of the poor man hate him. Moreover, even his friends have withdrawn far from him. Whoever pursues only words shall have nothing. |
| 8 | But whoever possesses reason loves his own soul. And one who guards prudence shall discover good things. |
| 9 | A false witness shall not go unpunished. And whoever speaks lies will perish. |
| 10 | Fine things are not fitting for the foolish, nor is it fitting for a servant to rule over princes. |
| 11 | The doctrine of a man is known through patience. And his glory is to pass beyond iniquities. |
| 12 | Like the roaring of a lion, so also is the wrath of a king. And his cheerfulness is like the dew upon the grass. |
| 13 | A foolish son is the grief of his father. And an argumentative wife is like a roof that is continually leaking. |
| 14 | A house and its riches are given by parents. But a prudent wife is particularly from the Lord. |
| 15 | Laziness sends one into a deep sleep, and a dissolute soul will go hungry. |
| 16 | Whoever guards a commandment guards his own soul. But whoever neglects his own way will die. |
| 17 | Whoever is merciful to the poor lends to the Lord. And he will repay him for his efforts. |
| 18 | Teach your son; do not despair. But do not set your soul toward putting him to death. |
| 19 | Whoever is impatient will sustain damage. And when it has been taken away, he will set up another. |
| 20 | Listen to counsel and take up discipline, so that you may be wise in your latter days. |
| 21 | There are many intentions in the heart of a man. But the will of the Lord shall stand firm. |
| 22 | An indigent man is merciful. And a pauper is better than a deceitful man. |
| 23 | The fear of the Lord is unto life. And he shall linger in plentitude, without being visited by disaster. |
| 24 | The lazy conceals his hand under his arm, and he will not so much as bring it to his mouth. |
| 25 | When the pestilent are scourged, the foolish will become wiser. But if you chastise the wise, he will understand discipline. |
| 26 | Whoever afflicts his father and flees from his mother is disreputable and unhappy. |
| 27 | Son, do not cease listening to doctrine, and do not be ignorant of the sermons of knowledge. |
| 28 | An unjust witness ridicules judgment. And the mouth of the impious devours iniquity. |
| 29 | Judgments are prepared for those who ridicule. And striking hammers are prepared for the bodies of the foolish. |
