| 1 | A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built. |
| 2 | He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way. |
| 3 | In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them. |
| 4 | Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest. |
| 5 | A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie. |
| 6 | A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy. |
| 7 | Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence. |
| 8 | The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth. |
| 9 | A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide. |
| 10 | The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle. |
| 11 | The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish. |
| 12 | There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death. |
| 13 | Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy. |
| 14 | A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him. |
| 15 | The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight. |
| 16 | A wise man feareth and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over and is confident. |
| 17 | The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful. |
| 18 | The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent, shall look for knowledge. |
| 19 | The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just. |
| 20 | The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many. |
| 21 | He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy. |
| 22 | They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things. |
| 23 | In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want. |
| 24 | The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence. |
| 25 | A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies. |
| 26 | In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children. |
| 27 | The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death. |
| 28 | In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince. |
| 29 | He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly. |
| 30 | Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones. |
| 31 | He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him. |
| 32 | The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death. |
| 33 | In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant. |
| 34 | Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable. |
| 35 | A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger. |
