[1]Every wise woman buildeth her house; but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. [2]He the walketh in his uprightness feareth ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him. [3]In the mouth of the foolish 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 breatheth forth lies. [6]A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; but knowledge is easy unto him that hath discernment. [7]Go from the presence of a foolish man, for thou wilt not perceive the lips of knowledge. [8]The wisdom of the prudent is to look well to his way; but the folly of fools is deceit. [9]Amends pleadeth for fools; but among the upright there is good will. [10]The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy no stranger can intermeddle. [11]The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent of the upright shall flourish. [12]There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. [13]Even in laughter the heart acheth; and the end of mirth is heaviness. [14]The dissembler in heart shall have his fill from his own ways; and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. [15]The thoughtless believeth every word; but the prudent man looketh well to his going. [16]A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; but the fool behaveth overbearingly, and is confident. [17]He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly; and a man of wicked devices is hated. [18]The thoughtless come into possession of folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. [19]The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. [20]The 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 unto the humble, happy is he. [22]Shall they not go astray that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be for them that devise good. [23]In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. [24]The crown of the wise is their riches; but the folly of fools remaineth folly. [25]A true witness delivereth souls; but he that breatheth forth lies is all deceit. [26]In the fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ a man hath strong confidence; and his children shall have a place of refuge. [27]The fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. [28]In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the want of people is the ruin of the prince. [29]He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. [30]A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; but envy is the rottenness of the bones. [31]He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker; but he that is gracious unto the needy honoureth Him. [32]The wicked is thrust down in his misfortune; but the righteous, even when he is brought to death, hath hope. [33]In the heart of him that hath discernment wisdom resteth; but in the inward part of fools it maketh itself known. [34]Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. [35]The king's favour is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; but his wrath striketh him that dealeth shamefully.
