Jehovah has founded the earth by wisdom; by understanding He has founded the heavens.

Do not strive 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 silver with him and will come home at the day of the full moon.

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

Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out her seven pillars;

she has killed her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table.

She has sent out her young women; she cries upon the highest places of the city,

In the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him who is without understanding.

The wicked makes a deceitful wage; but one sowing righteousness has a sure reward.

The soul of the sluggard desires and has nothing; but the soul of the hard worker shall be made fat.

The poor is hated even by his own neighbor, but the rich has many friends.

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

He who presses the poor curses his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy upon 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 who has understanding, but among fools it is made known.

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

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

Jehovah has made all for His purpose; yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

A bribe is like a precious stone in the eyes of him who has it; wherever he turns, he is prudent.

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

He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into mischief.

He who fathers a fool does it to his sorrow; the father of a fool has no joy.

Wisdom is before him who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

He who has knowledge uses few words; a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.

A man who has friends may be broken up, but there is a Lover who sticks closer than a brother.

He who has pity upon the poor lends to Jehovah, and He will reward his dealing to him.

Strike a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove one who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

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

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

Do not eat the bread of him who has an evil eye, nor desire his dainty foods;

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

Do not say, I will do so to him as he has done to me; I will give to the man according to his work.

Do not go forth quickly to fight, lest you know not what to do in the end of it, when your neighbor has put you to shame.

He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a broken down city without a wall.

The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding searches him out.

He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and does not know that poverty will come upon him.

Who has gone up to Heaven and has come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His garments? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name? Surely you know.

The leech has two daughters, crying, Give, give! Three things are never satisfied, yea, four things never say, Enough!
