| 1 | A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother. |
| 2 | Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death. |
| 3 | The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked. |
| 4 | The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away. |
| 5 | He that gathered in the harvest is a wise son: but he that snorteth in the summer, is the son of confusion. |
| 6 | The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked. |
| 7 | The memory of the just is with praises: and the name of the wicked shall rot. |
| 8 | The wise of heart receiveth precepts: a fool is beaten with lips. |
| 9 | He that walketh sincerely, walketh confidently: but he that perverteth his ways, shall be manifest. |
| 10 | He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten. |
| 11 | The mouth of the just is a vein of life: and the mouth of the wicked covereth iniquity. |
| 12 | Hatred stirreth up strifes: and charity covereth all sins. |
| 13 | In the lips of the wise is wisdom found: and a rod on the back of him that wanteth sense. |
| 14 | Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion. |
| 15 | The substance of a rich man is the city of his strength: the fear of the poor is their poverty. |
| 16 | The work of the just is unto life: but the fruit of the wicked, unto sin. |
| 17 | The way of life, to him that observeth correction: but he that forsaketh reproofs goeth astray. |
| 18 | Lying lips hide hatred: he that uttereth reproach is foolish. |
| 19 | In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise. |
| 20 | The tongue of the just is as choice silver: but the heart of the wicked is nothing worth. |
| 21 | The lips of the just teach many: but they that are ignorant, shall die in the want of understanding. |
| 22 | The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them. |
| 23 | A fool worketh mischief as it were for sport: but wisdom is prudence to a man. |
| 24 | That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given. |
| 25 | As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation. |
| 26 | As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him. |
| 27 | The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened. |
| 28 | The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish. |
| 29 | The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil. |
| 30 | The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth. |
| 31 | The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish. |
| 32 | The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things. |
