He that instructeth a scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that reproveth a wicked man getteth to himself a blot.

The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

A righteous man hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame.

There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man from what is in himself.

He that separateth himself seeketh his pleasure, he is vehement against all sound wisdom.

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also himself shall cry, and shall not be heard.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.

Clouds and wind without rain, so is a man that boasteth himself of a false gift.

He that passing by vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; the simple pass on, and are punished.

Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good.

The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
