1 Better is a poor man that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also that a person be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet maketh false steps.
7 All the brethren of a poor man hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him: he pursueth them with words, they are not to be found.
11 The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king's displeasure 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.
16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.
17 He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
23 The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall rest satisfied without being visited with evil.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove the intelligent, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that ruineth his father and chaseth away his mother is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.
28 A witness of Belial scorneth judgment, and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth down iniquity.
