aBetter is a poor
man who bwalks
in his integrity
Than
he who
is perverse
in 1speech
and is a fool
.
Also it is not good
for a person
to be without
knowledge
, And he who hurries
1 ahis footsteps
2errs
.
The afoolishness of man
ruins
his way
, And his heart
brages
against
the LORD
.
aWealth adds
many
friends
, But a poor
man
is separated
from his friend
.
A afalse witness
will not go
unpunished
, And he who 1 btells
lies
will not escape
.
aMany will seek
the favor
of a 1generous
man
, And every
man
is a friend
to him who bgives gifts
.
All the brothers
of a poor
man
hate
him; How
much
more
do his afriends
abandon
him! He bpursues
them with words
, but they are 1gone
.
He who gets 1wisdom
loves
his own soul
; He who keeps
understanding
will afind
good
.
A afalse witness
will not go
unpunished
, And he who 1tells
lies
will perish
.
Luxury is anot fitting
for a fool
; Much
less
for a bslave
to rule
over princes
.
A man's adiscretion
makes
him slow
to anger
, And it is his glory
bto overlook
a transgression
.
The aking's wrath
is like the roaring
of a lion
, But his favor
is like bdew
on the grass
.
A afoolish son
is destruction
to his father
, And the bcontentions
of a wife
are a constant
dripping
.
House and wealth
are an ainheritance
from fathers
, But a prudent
wife
is from the LORD
.
aLaziness casts
into a deep
sleep
, And an idle
1man
will suffer
hunger
.
He who akeeps the commandment
keeps
his soul
, But he who 1is careless
of 2conduct
will die
.
One who ais gracious to a poor
man
lends
to the LORD
, And He will repay
him for his 1 bgood
deed
.
aDiscipline your son
while
there
is hope
, And do not desire
1his death
.
A man of great anger
will bear
the penalty
, For if
you rescue
him, you will only have to do
it again
.
aListen to counsel
and accept
discipline
, That you may be wise
1the rest
of your days.
Many aplans
are in a man's
heart
, But the bcounsel
of the LORD
will stand
.
What is desirable
in a man
is his 1kindness
, And it is better
to be a poor
man than
a liar
.
The 1 afear of the LORD
leads to life
, So that one may sleep
bsatisfied
, 2 cuntouched
by evil
.
The asluggard buries
his hand
bin the dish
, But will not even
bring
it back
to his mouth
.
aStrike a scoffer
and the 1naive
may become
shrewd
, But breprove
one who has
understanding
and he will 2gain
knowledge
.
He awho assaults his father
and drives
his mother
away
Is a shameful
and disgraceful
son
.
Cease listening
, my son
, to discipline
, And you will stray
from the words
of knowledge
.
A rascally witness
makes
a mockery
of justice
, And the mouth
of the wicked
1 aspreads
iniquity
.
1Judgments are prepared
for ascoffers
, And bblows
for the back
of fools
.
