1He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof, is foolish.2He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord: but he that trusteth in his own devices, doth wickedly.3Man shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.4A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is as rottenness in his bones.5The thoughts of the just are judgments: and the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood: the mouth of the just shall deliver them.7Turn the wicked, and they shall not be: but the house of the just shall stand firm.8A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.9Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.10The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.11He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.12The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.13For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil man: but the just shall escape out of distress.14By the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things, and according to the works of his hands it shall be repaid him.15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsels.16A fool immediately sheweth his anger: but he that dissembleth injuries is wise.17He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.18There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.19The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.20Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.21Whatsoever shall befall the just man, shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.22Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal faithfully, please him.23A cautious man concealeth knowledge: and the heart of fools publisheth folly.24The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful shall be under tribute.25Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.26He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.27The deceitful man shall not find gain: but the substance of a just man shall be precious gold.28In the path of justice is life: but the by-way leadeth to death.

1A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, heareth not when he is reproved.2Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.3He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.4The sluggard willeth, and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.5The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.6Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.7One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.8The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but he that is poor, beareth not reprehension.9The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.10Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.11Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand, shall increase.12Hope that is deferred afflicteth the soul: desire when it cometh, is a tree of life.13Whosoever speaketh ill of any thing, bindeth himself for the time to come: but he that feareth the commandment, shall dwell in peace. Deceitful souls go astray in sins: the just are merciful, and shew mercy.14The law of the wise is a fountain of life, that he may decline from the ruin of death.15Good instruction shall give grace: in the way of scorners is a deep pit.16The prudent man doth all things with counsel: but he that is a fool, layeth open his folly.17The messenger of the wicked shall fall into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.18Poverty and shame to him that refuseth instruction: but he that yieldeth to reproof shall be glorified.19The desire that is accomplished, delighteth the soul: fools hate them that flee from evil things.20He that walketh with the wise, shall be wise: a friend of fools shall become like to them.21Evil pursueth sinners: and to the just good shall be repaid.22The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just.23Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered without judgment.24He that spareth the rod, hateth his son: but he that loveth him, correcteth him betimes.25The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled.

1A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built.2He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, is despised by him that goeth by an infamous way.3In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.4Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.5A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.6A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.7Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.8The wisdom of a discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.9A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.10The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle.11The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish.12There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.13Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy.14A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him.15The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight.16A wise man feareth, and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over, and is confident.17The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful.18The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent shall look for knowledge.19The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just.20The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.21He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy.22They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.23In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.24The crown of the wise, is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence.25A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies.26In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children.27The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.28In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince.29He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.30Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.31He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him.32The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death.33In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.34Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.35A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.
