Better is the poor
that walketh
in his integrity
, than he that is perverse
in his lips
, and is a fool
.
Also, that the soul be without knowledge
, it is not good
; and he that hasteth
with his feet
sinneth
.
The foolishness of man
perverteth
his way
: and his heart
fretteth
against the LORD
.
Wealth maketh
many
friends
; but the poor
is separated
from his neighbour
.
A false witness
shall not be unpunished
, and he that speaketh
lies
shall not escape
.
Many will intreat
the favour
of the prince
: and every man is a friend
to him
that giveth gifts
.
All the brethren of the poor
do hate
him: how much more do his friends
go far
from him? he pursueth
them with words
, yet they are wanting to him .
He that getteth wisdom
loveth
his own soul
: he that keepeth
understanding
shall find
good
.
A false witness
shall not be unpunished
, and he that speaketh
lies
shall perish
.
Delight is not seemly
for a fool
; much less for a servant
to have rule
over princes
.
The discretion of a man
deferreth
his anger
; and it is his glory
to pass over
a transgression
.
The king's wrath
is as the roaring
of a lion
; but his favour
is as dew
upon the grass
.
A foolish son
is the calamity
of his father
: and the contentions
of a wife
are a continual
dropping
.
House and riches
are the inheritance
of fathers
: and a prudent
wife
is from the LORD
.
Slothfulness casteth
into a deep sleep
; and an idle
soul
shall suffer hunger
.
He that keepeth the commandment
keepeth
his own soul
; but he that despiseth
his ways
shall die
.
He that hath pity upon the poor
lendeth
unto the LORD
; and that which he hath given
will he pay him again
.
Chasten thy son
while there is
hope
, and let not thy soul
spare
for his crying
.
A man of great
wrath
shall suffer
punishment
: for if thou deliver
him , yet thou must do it again
.
Hear counsel
, and receive
instruction
, that thou mayest be wise
in thy latter end
.
There are many devices
in a man's
heart
; nevertheless the counsel
of the LORD
, that shall stand
.
The desire of a man
is his kindness
: and a poor man
is better
than
a liar
.
The fear of the LORD
tendeth to life
: and he that hath it shall abide
satisfied
; he shall not be visited
with evil
.
A slothful man hideth
his hand
in his bosom
, and will not so much as bring
it to his mouth
again
.
Smite a scorner
, and the simple
will beware
: and reprove
one that hath understanding
, and he will understand
knowledge
.
He that wasteth his father
, and chaseth away
his mother
, is a son
that causeth shame
, and bringeth reproach
.
Cease, my son
, to hear
the instruction
that causeth to err
from the words
of knowledge
.
An ungodly witness
scorneth
judgment
: and the mouth
of the wicked
devoureth
iniquity
.
Judgments are prepared
for scorners
, and stripes
for the back
of fools
.
