Better{H2896} is the poor{H7326} that walketh{H1980} in his integrity{H8537} Than he that is perverse{H6141} in his lips{H8193} and is a fool.{H3684}

Also, that the soul{H5315} be without knowledge{H1847} is not good;{H2896} And he that hasteth{H213} with his feet{H7272} sinneth.{H2398}

The foolishness{H200} of man{H120} subverteth{H5557} his way;{H1870} And his heart{H3820} fretteth{H2196} against Jehovah.{H3068}

Wealth{H1952} addeth{H3254} many{H7227} friends;{H7453} But the poor{H1800} is separated{H6504} from his friend.{H7453}

A false{H8267} witness{H5707} shall not be unpunished;{H5352} And he that uttereth{H6315} lies{H3577} shall not escape.{H4422}

Many{H7227} will entreat{H2470} the favor{H6440} of the liberal{H5081} man; And every man is a friend{H7453} to him{H376} that giveth gifts.{H4976}

All the brethren{H251} of the poor{H7326} do hate{H8130} him: How much more do his friends{H4828} go far{H7368} from him! He pursueth{H7291} [them with] words,{H561} [but] they are gone.

He that getteth{H7069} wisdom{H3820} loveth{H157} his own soul:{H5315} He that keepeth{H8104} understanding{H8394} shall find{H4672} good.{H2896}

A false{H8267} witness{H5707} shall not be unpunished;{H5352} And he that uttereth{H6315} lies{H3577} shall perish.{H6}

Delicate{H8588} living is not seemly{H5000} for a fool;{H3684} Much less for a servant{H5650} to have rule{H4910} over princes.{H8269}

The discretion{H7922} of a man{H120} maketh him slow{H748} to anger;{H639} And it is his glory{H8597} to pass over{H5674} a transgression.{H6588}

The king's{H4428} wrath{H2197} is as the roaring{H5099} of a lion;{H3715} But his favor{H7522} is as dew{H2919} upon the grass.{H6212}

A foolish{H3684} son{H1121} is the calamity{H1942} of his father;{H1} And the contentions{H4079} of a wife{H802} are a continual{H2956} dropping.{H1812}

House{H1004} and riches{H1952} are an inheritance{H5159} from fathers;{H1} But a prudent{H7919} wife{H802} is from Jehovah.{H3068}

Slothfulness{H6103} casteth{H5307} into a deep sleep;{H8639} And the idle{H7423} soul{H5315} shall suffer hunger.{H7456}

He that keepeth{H8104} the commandment{H4687} keepeth{H8104} his soul;{H5315} [But] he that is careless{H959} of his ways{H1870} shall die.{H4191}

He that hath pity{H2603} upon the poor{H1800} lendeth{H3867} unto Jehovah,{H3068} And his good deed{H1576} will he pay him again.{H7999}

Chasten{H3256} thy son,{H1121} seeing there is{H3426} hope;{H8615} And set not thy{H5315} heart{H5375} on his destruction.{H4191}

A man{H1419} of great{H1632} wrath{H2534} shall bear{H5375} the penalty;{H6066} For if thou deliver{H5337} [him], thou must do it yet again.{H3254}

Hear{H8085} counsel,{H6098} and receive{H6901} instruction,{H4148} That thou mayest be wise{H2449} in thy latter end.{H319}

There are many{H7227} devices{H4284} in a man's{H376} heart;{H3820} But the counsel{H6098} of Jehovah,{H3068} that shall stand.{H6965}

That which maketh a man{H120} to be desired{H8378} is his kindness;{H2617} And a poor man{H7326} is better{H2896} than{H376} a liar.{H3577}

The fear{H3374} of Jehovah{H3068} [tendeth] to life;{H2416} And he [that hath it] shall abide{H3885} satisfied;{H7649} He shall not be visited{H6485} with evil.{H7451}

The sluggard{H6102} burieth{H2934} his hand{H3027} in the dish,{H6747} And will not so much as bring{H7725} it to his mouth{H6310} again.{H7725}

Smite{H5221} a scoffer,{H3887} and the simple{H6612} will learn prudence;{H6191} And reprove{H3198} one that hath understanding,{H995} [and] he will understand{H995} knowledge.{H1847}

He that doeth{H7703} violence to his father,{H1} and chaseth away{H1272} his mother,{H517} Is a son{H1121} that causeth shame{H954} and bringeth reproach.{H2659}

Cease,{H2308} my son,{H1121} to hear{H8085} instruction{H4148} [Only] to err{H7686} from the words{H561} of knowledge.{H1847}

A worthless{H1100} witness{H5707} mocketh{H3887} at justice;{H4941} And the mouth{H6310} of the wicked{H7563} swalloweth{H1104} iniquity.{H7563}

Judgments{H8201} are prepared{H3559} for scoffers,{H3887} And stripes{H4112} for the back{H1460} of fools.{H3684}
