1
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool
2
Also that the soul be without knowledge it is not good and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth
3
The foolishness of man perverteth his way and his heart fretteth against the LORD
4
Wealth maketh many friends but the poor is separated from his neighbour
5
A false witness shall not be unpunished and he that speaketh lies shall not escape
6
Many will intreat the favour of the prince 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 pursueth them with words yet they are wanting to 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 speaketh lies shall perish
10
Delight is not seemly for a fool much less for a servant to have rule over princes
11
The discretion of a man deferreth his 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 and a prudent wife is from the LORD
15
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep and an idle soul shall suffer hunger
16
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul but he that despiseth his ways shall die
17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD and that which he hath given will he pay him again
18
Chasten thy son while there is hope and let not thy soul spare for his crying
19
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment for if thou deliver him yet thou must do it again
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 nevertheless the counsel of the LORD that shall stand
22
The desire of a man is his kindness and a poor man is better than a liar
23
The fear of the LORD tendeth to life and he that hath it shall abide satisfied he shall not be visited with evil
24
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again
25
Smite a scorner and the simple will beware and reprove one that hath understanding and he will understand knowledge
26
He that wasteth his father and chaseth away his mother is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach
27
Cease my son to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge
28
An ungodly witness scorneth judgment and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity
29
Judgments are prepared for scorners and stripes for the back of fools
