| Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. | |
| He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. | |
| In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. | |
| Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. | |
| A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. | |
| A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. | |
| Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. | |
| The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. | |
| Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. | |
| The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. | |
| The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. | |
| There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. | |
| Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. | |
| The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. | |
| The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. | |
| A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. | |
| He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. | |
| The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. | |
| The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. | |
| The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. | |
| He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. | |
| Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. | |
| In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. | |
| The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly. | |
| A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. | |
| In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. | |
| The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. | |
| In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. | |
| He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. | |
| A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. | |
| He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. | |
| The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. | |
| Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. | |
| Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. | |
| The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame. |
