When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

Whosoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker: and he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.

An evil man seeks only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

It is not good to be partial to the wicked, or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and contentions are like the bars of a castle.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hastens with his feet sins.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

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

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.

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

It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Even a child is known by his acts, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice wage war.

Whosoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in utter darkness.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upheld by mercy.

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

Whosoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

It is joy to the just to do justice: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

He that loves pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loves wine and oil shall not be rich.

The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spends it up.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that does keep his soul shall be far from 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.

The slothful man says, There is a lion outside, I shall be slain in the streets.

Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.

For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; they shall all be fitted on your lips.

That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to you this day, even to you.

Be not one of them that gives pledges, or of them that become surety for debts.

If you have nothing to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?

Be not desirous of his delicacies: for they are deceitful food.

Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom.

Let not your heart envy sinners: but be in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

For surely there is a future hope; and your expectation shall not be cut off.

Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart in the way.

Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous eaters of meat:

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bore you shall rejoice.

Yea, you shall be as he that lies down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lies upon the top of a mast.

Be not envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established:

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

For by wise counsel you shall wage your war: and in a multitude of counselors there is safety.

He that plans to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your hope shall not be cut off.

For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall by calamity.

Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:

Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you envious at the wicked;

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

For better it is that it be said unto you, Come up here; than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince whom your eyes have seen.

By long patience is a prince persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks the bone.

Have you found honey? eat only as much as is sufficient for you, lest you be filled with it, and vomit it.

Withdraw your foot from your neighbor's house; lest he be weary of you, and so hate you.

As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause shall not alight.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like unto him.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

He that sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet, and drinks violence.

He that passes by, and meddles with a quarrel not belonging to him, is like one that takes a dog by the ears.

Whosoever's hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be revealed before the whole assembly.

A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so does the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproaches me.

He that blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

Whosoever keeps the fig tree shall eat its fruit: so he that waits on his master shall be honored.

As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man judged by his praise.

Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds.

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge its state shall be prolonged.

Better is the poor who walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Whosoever walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not go unpunished.

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

He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be prospered.

He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whosoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.

He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

The king by justice establishes the land: but he that receives bribes overthrows it.

The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.

A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understands he will not answer.

The fear of man brings a snare: but whosoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Add not unto his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.

The locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;
