[1]Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time. [2]Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. [3]The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [4]Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him. [5]A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape. [6]Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. [7]All the brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him. [8]He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good. [9]A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish. [10]Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. [11]It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. [12]The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. [13]A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. [14]House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [15]Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger. [16]He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die. [17]He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; and his good deed will He repay unto him. [18]Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction. [19]A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto. [20]Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. [21]There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, that shall stand. [22]The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar. [23]The fear of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil. [24]The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his mouth. [25]When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understan knowledge. [26]A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother. [27]Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. [28]An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. [29]Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
