[1]The wisdom of women buildeth their house; but folly plucketh it down with her hands.[2]He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; but he that is perverted in his ways despiseth him.[3]In the fool's mouth is a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.[4]Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; but much increase is by the strength of the ox.[5]A faithful witness will not lie; but a false witness uttereth lies.[6]A scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none [for him]; but knowledge is easy unto the intelligent.[7]Go from the presence of a foolish man, in whom thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.[8]The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way; but the folly of the foolish is deceit.[9]Fools make a mock at trespass; but for the upright there is favour.[10]The heart knoweth its own bitterness, and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.[11]The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent of the upright shall flourish.[12]There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death.[13]Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of mirth is sadness.[14]The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man from what is in himself.[15]The simple believeth every word; but the prudent [man] heedeth his going.[16]A wise [man] feareth and departeth from evil; but the foolish is overbearing and confident.[17]He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly, and a man of mischievous devices is hated.[18]The simple inherit folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.[19]The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous [man].[20]He that is poor is hated even of his own neighbour; but the rich hath many friends.[21]He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth; but he that is gracious to the afflicted, happy is he.[22]Do they not err that devise evil? but loving-kindness and truth are for those that devise good.[23]In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to want.[24]The crown of the wise is their riches; the folly of the foolish is folly.[25]A true witness delivereth souls; but deceit uttereth lies.[26]In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.[27]The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.[28]In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince.[29]He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.[30]A sound heart is the life of the flesh; but envy the rottenness of the bones.[31]He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoureth Him is gracious to the needy.[32]The wicked is driven away by his evil-doing; but the righteous trusteth, [even] in his death.[33]Wisdom resteth in the heart of the intelligent [man]; but that which is in the foolish maketh itself known.[34]Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to peoples.[35]The king's favour is toward a wise servant; but his wrath is [against] him that causeth shame.
