[1]He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, and snarlest against all sound wisdom.[2]A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.[3]When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.[4]The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.[5]It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.[6]A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.[7]A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.[8]The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.[9]Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.[10]The name of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.[11]The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.[12]Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.[13]He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.[14]The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?[15]The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.[16]A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.[17]He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.[18]The lot causeth strife to cease, and parteth asunder the contentious.[19]A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.[20]A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.[21]Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.[22]Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.[23]The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently.[24]There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
