1 Better is the poor that walks in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
7 All the brethren of the poor hate him; how much more shall his friends separate themselves from him? He shall seek their friendship and not find it.
8 He that gets wisdom loves his own soul; he keeps intelligence that he might find that which is good.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
13 A foolish son is a pain unto his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer the consequences, for even if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
21 There are many thoughts in the heart of man; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.
22 Contentment is unto men to show mercy, but it is better to do it unto the poor than to the liar.
23 The fear of the LORD is unto life, and he that has it shall live satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 The slothful man hides 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 become prudent, and reproving one that has understanding, he will understand knowledge.
26 He that steals from his father and chases away his mother is a son that causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the teaching that induces one to deviate from the reasons of wisdom.
28 A witness of Belial shall scorn judgment, and the mouth of the wicked shall cover iniquity.
