There are many thoughts in the heart of man; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.

Contentment is unto men to show mercy, but it is better to do it unto the poor than to the liar.

The fear of the LORD is unto life, and he that has it shall live satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

The slothful man hides his hand in his bosom and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Cease, my son, to hear the teaching that induces one to deviate from the reasons of wisdom.

A witness of Belial shall scorn judgment, and the mouth of the wicked shall cover iniquity.

He that gives unto the poor lends unto the LORD, and he will give him his reward.

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

Better is the poor that walks in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

Chasten thy son while there is hope, but do not stir up thy soul to destroy him.

That the soul be without wisdom is not good, and he that hastens with his feet sins.

The foolishness of man perverts his way, and his heart is wroth against the LORD.

House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but the prudent wife is from the LORD.

He that steals from his father and chases away his mother is a son that causes shame and brings reproach.

Hear counsel, and receive chastening that thou may be wise in thy old age.

Smite a scorner, and the simple will become prudent, and reproving one that has understanding, he will understand knowledge.

A foolish son is a pain unto his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.

A false witness shall not go unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.

Judgments are prepared for scorners and stripes for the back of fools.

Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the negligent soul shall suffer hunger.

He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul, but he that despises his ways shall die.

A man of great wrath shall suffer the consequences, for even if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

He that gets wisdom loves his own soul; he keeps intelligence that he might find that which is good.

Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

The false witness shall not go unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

Many will intreat the favour of the prince, but every man is a friend to him that gives.

Delight is not suitable for a fool; much less for a slave to have rule over princes.

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

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.
