If thou seest a man that is wise in his own conceit, there is more hope in a fool than in him.

Like a door that turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

A gossip’s words are like choice food
that goes down to one’s innermost being.

A clay vessel plated with a thin veneer of silver that's what smooth lips with a wicked heart are.

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

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

Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.

An {appetite} that is sated spurns honey, but [to] an {appetite} that is ravenous, all bitterness [is] sweet.

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

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

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

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

He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil.

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; so let a man be to the mouth that praiseth him.

See that thou know the number of thy cattle thy self, and look well to thy flocks.

A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

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

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

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

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

He that misguideth the upright into a hurtful way! into his own pit, he himself, shall fall, but, men of integrity, shall inherit good.

The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

A roaring lion and a charging bear that's what a wicked tyrant is over poor people.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

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

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

The one who robs his father or mother
and says, “That’s no sin,”
is a companion to a man who destroys.

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

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

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.

The poor man and the man of usury, meet together, he that enlighteneth the eyes of them both, is Yahweh.

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

Correct thy son, that he may give thee rest, that he may give delight to thy soul.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

A man given to anger, stirreth up strife, and, he that exceedeth in wrath, aboundeth in transgression.

A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.

He that shareth with a thief, hateth himself, an oath, he heareth, yet may not tell.

The fear of man, setteth a snare, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be placed on high.

Many people seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the Lord that one receives justice.

An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

I have not learned [skillful and godly] wisdom,
Nor do I have knowledge of the Holy One [who is the source of wisdom].

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Two things I require of thee, that thou will not deny me before I die.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:

For fear that if I am full, I may be false to you and say, Who is the Lord? or if I am poor, I may become a thief, using the name of my God wrongly.

Don't lie about a servant to his master, or that servant will curse you and you will pay for it.

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

There are people that have a proud look, and cast up their eyelids.

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

The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

There are three things too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:

Such is the way also of a wife that breaketh wedlock, which wipeth her mouth like as when she hath eaten, and sayeth, "As for me, I have done no harm."

through a servant that beareth rule, through a fool that hath great riches,

For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

There are four things on earth that are small, but they are exceedingly wise:

The spider laboureth with her hands, and that in the kings' palace.

There [are] three [things] that are magnificent of stride, and four that are magnificent [when] moving:

An old lion -- mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any,

A cock ready to fight; A ram; and a king that goeth forth with his people.

Who so churneth milk, maketh butter; he that rubbeth his nose, maketh it bleed; and he that causeth wrath, bringeth forth strife.

The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.

Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

Let him drink so that he can forget his poverty
and remember his trouble no more.

Open thy mouth for the dumb, for the cause of all those that are left desolate.

With thy mouth defend the thing that is lawful and right, and the cause of the poor and helpless.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

She is like a seagoing ship that brings her food from far away.

She draws on her strength
and reveals that her arms are strong.

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

She feareth not that the cold of winter shall hurt her house, for all her household folks are double clothed.

She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry.
Her clothing is linen, pure and fine, and purple [wool].

She makes [fine] linen garments and sells them;
And supplies sashes to the merchants.

Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure;
And she smiles at the future [knowing that she and her family are prepared].
