The LORD by wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding has he established the heavens.

Strive not with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey:

He has taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

For she has cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars:

She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also furnished her table.

She has sent forth her maidens: she cries upon the highest places of the city,

He becomes poor who has a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

In the lips of him that has understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

It is as sport to a fool to do wrong: but a man of understanding has wisdom.

He that is despised, and has a servant, is better than he that honors himself, and lacks bread.

The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

There is one that makes himself rich, yet has nothing: there is one that makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

The poor is hated even of his own neighbor: but the rich has many friends.

He that despises his neighbor sins: but he that has mercy on the poor, happy is he.

He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker: but he that honors him has mercy on the poor.

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous has hope in his death.

Wisdom rests in the heart of him that has understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.

The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

The LORD has made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart for it?

He that has a crooked heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into calamity.

He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy.

Wisdom is before him that has understanding; but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

He that has knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may express itself.

A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has given will he pay him again.

The fear of the LORD leads to life: and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

Smite a scoffer, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD has made even both of them.

He that has a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he gives of his bread to the poor.

He that loves pureness of heart and has grace on his lips, the king shall be his friend.

Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?

Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Go not forth hastily to court, lest you know not what to do in the end, when your neighbor has put you to shame.

He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that has understanding will find him out.

He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.

Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you can tell?

The leach has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
