|---|---|---|---|
| Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a man who is perverse in speech, and is a fool. | |||
| It is not good for a man to be without knowledge, and he who makes haste with his feet misses his way. | |||
| When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the LORD. | |||
| Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend. | |||
| A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will not escape. | |||
| Many seek the favor of a generous man, and every one is a friend to a man who gives gifts. | |||
| All a poor man's brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them. | |||
| He who gets wisdom loves himself; he who keeps understanding will prosper. | |||
| A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will perish. | |||
| It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes. | |||
| Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. | |||
| A king's wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew upon the grass. | |||
| A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain. | |||
| House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. | |||
| Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. | |||
| He who keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises the word will die. | |||
| He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed. | |||
| Discipline your son while there is hope; do not set your heart on his destruction. | |||
| A man of great wrath will pay the penalty; for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again. | |||
| Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future. | |||
| Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be established. | |||
| What is desired in a man is loyalty, and a poor man is better than a liar. | |||
| The fear of the LORD leads to life; and he who has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm. | |||
| The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it back to his mouth. | |||
| Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge. | |||
| He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. | |||
| Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to stray from the words of knowledge. | |||
| A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity. | |||
| Condemnation is ready for scoffers, and flogging for the backs of fools. | |||
