Wisdom is supreme—so get wisdom.
And whatever else you get, get understanding.

Get wisdom, get understanding;
don’t forget or turn away from the words of my mouth.

How long will you stay in bed, you slacker?
When will you get up from your sleep?

He will get a beating and dishonor,
and his disgrace will never be removed.

The one who corrects a mocker
will bring dishonor on himself;
the one who rebukes a wicked man will get hurt.

Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone,
but righteousness rescues from death.

The disloyal one will get what his conduct deserves,
and a good man, what his deeds deserve.

It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute,
but any fool can get himself into a quarrel.

Take his garment,
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.

The one who loves pleasure will become a poor man;
whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.

Don’t wear yourself out to get rich;
stop giving your attention to it.

Though a righteous man falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

If you find honey, eat only what you need;
otherwise, you’ll get sick from it and vomit.

Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house;
otherwise, he’ll get sick of you and hate you.

Take his garment,
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.

A faithful man will have many blessings,
but one in a hurry to get rich
will not go unpunished.
