[1]A soft answer turneth away wrath; but a grievous word stirreth up anger. [2]The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright; but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. [3]The eyes of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ are in every place, keeping watch upon the evil and the good. [4]A soothing tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a wound to the spirit. [5]A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. [6]In the house of the righteous is much treasure; but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. [7]The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; but the heart of the foolish is not stedfast. [8]The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but the prayer of the upright is His delight. [9]The way of the wicked is an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness. [10]There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; and he that hateth reproof shall die. [11]The nether-world and Destruction are before ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; how much more then the hearts of the children of men! [12]A scorner loveth not to be reproved; he will not go unto the wise. [13]A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance; but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken. [14]The heart of him that hath discernment seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly. [15]All the days of the poor are evil; but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. [16]Better is little with the fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, than great treasure and turmoil therewith. [17]Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. [18]A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. [19]The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns; but the path of the upright is even. [20]A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother. [21]Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment walke straightforwards. [22]For want of counsel purposes are frustrated; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. [23]A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; and a word in due season, how good is it! [24]The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath. [25]‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow. [26]The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but words of pleasantness are pure. [27]He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. [28]The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. [29]‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is far from the wicked; but He heareth the prayer of the righteous. [30]The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; and a good report maketh the bones fat. [31]The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [32]He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; but he tha hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding. [33]The fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour goeth humility.
