There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.

It is a man's worship to do good; and better it is to be a poor man, than a dissembler.

The fear of the LORD preserveth the life; yea it giveth plenteousness, without the visitation of any plague.

A slothful body shutteth his hand into his bosom; so that he cannot put it to his mouth.

My son, heareth no more the doctrine that leadeth thee away from the words of understanding.

A false witness laugheth judgement to scorn; and the mouth of the ungodly eateth up wickedness.

He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto the LORD; and look, what he layeth out, it shall be paid him again.

A wise man putteth off displeasure, and it is his honour to let some faults pass.

Better is the poor that liveth godly, than the blasphemer that is but a fool.

Chasten thy son while there is hope; but let not thy soul be moved to slay him.

Where no discretion is, there the soul is not well; and whoso is swift on foot, stumbleth hastily.

Foolishness maketh a man to go out of his way, and then is his heart impatient against the LORD.

House and riches may a man have by the heritage of his elders; but a discreet woman is the gift of the LORD.

He that hurteth his father or shutteth out his mother, is a shameful and an unworthy son.

O give ear unto good counsel, and be content to be reformed; that thou mayest be wise here after.

If thou smitest a scornful person, the ignorant shall take better heed; and if thou reprovest one that hath understanding, he will be the wiser.

An indiscreet son is the heaviness of his father; and a brawling wife is like the top of a house, wherethrough it is ever dropping.

A false witness shall not remain unpunished; and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Punishments are ordained for the scornful, and stripes for fools' backs.

Slothfulness bringeth sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Whoso keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul; but he that regardeth not his way, shall die.

For great wrath bringeth harm; therefore let him go, and so mayest thou teach him more nurture.

He that is wise loveth his own soul; and whoso hath understanding, shall prosper.

Riches make many friends; but the poor is forsaken of his own friends.

A false witness shall not remain unpunished; and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

The multitude hangeth upon great men; and every man favoureth him that giveth rewards.

Delicate ease becometh not a fool; much more unseemly is it, a bond man to have the rule of princes.

The king's disfavor is like the roaring of a Lion, but his friendship is like the dew upon the grass.

As for the poor, he is hated among all his brethren; yea, his own friends forsake him, and he that giveth credence unto words, getteth nothing.
