[1]  Better is the poor that walks in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

[1]  ---

[2]  Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hastens with his feet sins.

[2]  ---

[3]  The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart frets against the LORD.

[3]  ---

[4]  Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.

[4]  ---

[5]  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.

[5]  ---

[6]  Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.

[6]  ---

[7]  All the brothers of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

[7]  ---

[8]  He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.

[8]  ---

[9]  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

[9]  ---

[10]  Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

[10]  ---

[11]  The discretion of a man defers his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

[11]  ---

[12]  The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew on the grass.

[12]  ---

[13]  A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

[13]  ---

[14]  House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

[14]  ---

[15]  Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

[15]  ---

[16]  He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall die.

[16]  ---

[17]  He that has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; and that which he has given will he pay him again.

[17]  ---

[18]  Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.

[18]  ---

[19]  A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.

[19]  ---

[20]  Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

[20]  ---

[21]  There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

[21]  ---

[22]  The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

[22]  ---

[23]  The fear of the LORD tends to life: and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

[23]  ---

[24]  A slothful man hides his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

[24]  ---

[25]  Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

[25]  ---

[26]  He that wastes his father, and chases away his mother, is a son that causes shame, and brings reproach.

[26]  ---

[27]  Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes to err from the words of knowledge.

[27]  ---

[28]  An ungodly witness scorns judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

[28]  ---

[29]  Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
