Many are the thoughts in a man's heart, but the counsel of Jehovah, that doth stand.

The charm of a man is his kindness; and a poor man is better than a liar.

The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall rest satisfied without being visited with evil.

A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it to his mouth again.

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction which causeth to stray from the words of knowledge.

A witness of Belial scorneth judgment, and the mouth of the wicked swalloweth down iniquity.

He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.

The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Better is a poor man that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.

Also that a person be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet maketh false steps.

The folly of man distorteth his way, and his heart is irritated against Jehovah.

House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

He that ruineth his father and chaseth away his mother is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove the intelligent, and he will understand knowledge.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of the foolish.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

He that getteth sense loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Wealth addeth many friends; but the poor is separated from his friend.

A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall perish.

Many court the favour of a noble; and every one is friend to a man that giveth.

Good living beseemeth not a fool; how much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

The king's displeasure is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

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.
