He that answereth before he heareth, a folly, it is to him, and, a reproach.

Righteous is he that is first in his own cause, then cometh his neighbour, and thoroughly searcheth him.

Surely, for the soul to be, without knowledge, is not good, and, he that hasteth with his feet, strayeth.

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

He that acquireth sense, loveth his own soul, he that guardeth understanding, shall find blessing.

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

Engulfing ruin to his father, is a son that is a dullard, - and, a continuous dripping, are the contentions of a wife.

Sloth, falleth into a deep sleep, and, a soul that is indolent, shall famish.

One who guardeth the commandment, guardeth his life, he that is reckless in his ways, shall die.

Hear counsel, receive correction, that thou mayest be wise in thine after-life.

Many are the devices in a man's heart, but, the counsel of Yahweh, that, shall stand.

He that ruineth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son causing shame and reproach.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction that would cause thee to wander from the sayings of knowledge.

The growl as of a young lion, is the dread inspired by a king, he that provoketh him, endangereth his own life.

Do not say, I will requite wrong! Wait thou for Yahweh that he may save thee.

It is a snare to a man, that he should rashly cry Holy! and, after making vows, to reflect!

Blows that out in, cleanse away wickedness, and, smitings, enter the chambers of the inner man.

Every way of a man, may be right in his own eyes, but, he that testeth hearts, is Yahweh.

The plans of the diligent, tend only to abundance, but, of every one that is urgent, only to want.

He that shutteth his ear from the cry of the poor, even he, shall call, and not be answered.

A needy man, shall he be that loveth merriment, the lover of wine and oil, shall not become rich.

He that pursueth righteousness and lovingkindness, shall find life, righteousness and honour.

He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth, out of distresses, his soul.

A haughty insolent one - Scoffer is his name, is he that acteth in a transport of pride.

Thorns and snares, are in the way of the perverse, - he that guardeth his soul, shall be far from them.

He that soweth perversity, shall reap trouble, and, the rod of his wrath, shall be ready.

Drive away the scoffer, that strife may depart, and quarrel, and contempt may cease.

Do not eat the food of him that hath a begrudging eye, neither crave thou his dainties;

So shall my reins exult, when thy lips speak the things that are right.

Greatly shall exult, the father of a righteous man, and, he that begetteth a wise son, shall rejoice in him:

Its after effect, is that, like a serpent, it biteth, and, like a viper, it doth sting.

He that deviseth to do mischief, him, shall men call, a master of plots.

Deliver thou such as are being led forth to death, and, them who are tottering to slaughter, oh that thou wouldst hold back!

Though thou say, Lo! we knew not this, Shall not, he that proveth hearts, himself, discern? And, he that formeth thy soul, himself, know? and bring back to a son of earth according to his deed?

He that saith to the lawless man, Righteous, thou art, peoples shall denounce him, populations shall curse him;

Remove a lawless man from before the king, that his throne, may be established in righteousness.

For better it be said to thee, Come up hither, - than that thou be put lower down before a noble, whom thine own eyes, have beheld.

Lest he that heareth expose thee, and, the report concerning thee, turn not away.

If he that hateth thee hunger, give him bread to eat, and, if he be thirsty, give him water to drink;

Like tying a stone to a sling, so, is he that giveth honour, to a dullard.

He that diggeth a pit, thereinto, shall fall, and, he that rolleth a stone, upon himself, shall it return.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing instruction, even his prayer, is an abomination.

He that misguideth the upright into a hurtful way! into his own pit, he himself, shall fall, but, men of integrity, shall inherit good.

Wise in his own eyes, is the man that is rich, but, a poor man of discernment, searcheth him out.

He that covereth his transgressions, shall not prosper, but, he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find compassion.

How happy the man who is ever circumspect, whereas, he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into calamity.

He that walketh with integrity, shall be saved, but, he that is crooked, turning two ways, shall fall in one.

He that tilleth his ground, shall have plenty of bread, but, he that pursueth empty-heads, shall have plenty of poverty.

He that reproveth a man, shall, afterwards, find more, favour, than he that useth a flattering tongue.

He that robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, companion, is he to one who wasteth.

The ambitious in soul, stirreth up strife, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be enriched.

He that trusteth his own heart, the same, is a dullard, but, he that walketh wisely, the same, shall be delivered.

One who giveth to the poor, shall have no want, but, he that hideth his eyes, shall receive many a curse.

He that being often reproved stiffeneth his neck, suddenly shall be hurt, and there be no healing.

The poor man and the man of usury, meet together, he that enlighteneth the eyes of them both, is Yahweh.

Correct thy son, that he may give thee rest, that he may give delight to thy soul.

Where there is no vision, a people is let loose, but, he that keepeth instruction, how happy is he!

He that dealeth tenderly with his servant from childhood, in his after life, shall have him for a son.

A man given to anger, stirreth up strife, and, he that exceedeth in wrath, aboundeth in transgression.

He that shareth with a thief, hateth himself, an oath, he heareth, yet may not tell.

The fear of man, setteth a snare, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be placed on high.

Hades, and barrenness, - A land not satisfied with water, and fire, that saith not, Enough!

The eye that mocketh a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young of the eagle shall eat it.

Lest he drink, and forget that which is decreed, and alter the plea of any who are sorely oppressed.

Give strong drink, to him that is perishing, and wine, to such as are embittered in soul:

Deceitful is loveliness and vain is beauty, The woman that revereth Yahweh, she, shall be praised:
