Thou shall cast thy lot among us. We will all have one bag.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?

Turn back at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you. I will make my words known to you.

I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes,

Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me,

My son, if thou will receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee,

For length of days, and years of life, and peace, they will add to thee.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths.

It will be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

For LORD will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being taken.

Do not say to thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give, when thou have it by thee.

Do not forsake her, and she will preserve thee. Love her, and she will keep thee.

Exalt her, and she will promote thee. She will bring thee to honor when thou embrace her.

She will give to thy head a garland of grace, a crown of beauty she will deliver to thee.

How long will thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out of thy sleep?

For jealousy is a man's fury, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be satisfied, though thou give many gifts.

And, behold, there met him a woman attired like a harlot, and wily of heart.

He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.

Hear, for I will speak excellent things. And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee. Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give opportunity to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

LORD will not allow the soul of a righteous man to famish, but he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.

The wise in heart will receive commandments, but a prating fool shall fall.

A good man shall obtain favor of LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices.

A faithful witness will not lie, but a FALSE witness utters lies.

Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is good will.

He who is soon angry will deal foolishly. And a man of wicked devices is hated.

The king's favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath will be [to] him who causes shame.

A scoffer does not like to be reproved. He will not go to the wise.

LORD will root up the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.

The wrath of a king is messengers of death, but a wise man will pacify it.

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a broken spirit who can bear?

Many will entreat the favor of a generous man, and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

He who has pity upon a poor man lends to LORD, and he will repay him his good deed.

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Smite a scoffer, and a simple man will learn prudence. And reprove him who has understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarrelling.

The sluggard will not plow because of the winter. Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Purpose in the heart of man is deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness, but a faithful man who can find?

Say thou not, I will recompense evil. Wait for LORD, and he will save thee.

The king's heart is in the hand of LORD as the watercourses. He turns it wherever he will.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Cast out the scoffer, and contention will go out, yea, strife and reproach will cease.

He who loves pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his lips, the king will be his friend.

For LORD will plead their cause, and despoil of life those who despoil them.

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 strive. What will thou do in the end of it when thy neighbor has put thee to shame?

For thou will heap coals of fire upon his head, and LORD will reward thee.

Though thou should pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

And [then will be] goats' milk enough for thy food; for the food of thy household, and maintenance for thy maidens.

If a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest, yea, he will give delight to thy soul.

A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understands, he will not give heed.
