| 1. | Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity Than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool. | 
| 2. | Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. | 
| 3. | The foolishness of man subverteth his way; And his heart fretteth against Jehovah. | 
| 4. | Wealth addeth many friends; But the poor is separated from his friend. | 
| 5. | A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall not escape. | 
| 6. | Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man; And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. | 
| 7. | All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth `them with' words, `but' they are gone. | 
| 8. | He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good. | 
| 9. | A false witness shall not be unpunished; And he that uttereth lies shall perish. | 
| 10. | Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; Much less for a servant to have rule over princes. | 
| 11. | The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression. | 
| 12. | The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass. | 
| 13. | A foolish son is the calamity of his father; And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. | 
| 14. | House and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from Jehovah. | 
| 15. | Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger. | 
| 16. | He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; `But' he that is careless of his ways shall die. | 
| 17. | He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again. | 
| 18. | Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; nd set not thy heart on his destruction. | 
| 19. | A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver `him', thou must do it yet again. | 
| 20. | Hear counsel, and receive instruction, That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. | 
| 21. | There are many devices in a man's heart; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand. | 
| 22. | That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar. | 
| 23. | The fear of Jehovah `tendeth' to life; And he `that hath it' shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil. | 
| 24. | The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. | 
| 25. | Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, `and' he will understand knowledge. | 
| 26. | He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach. | 
| 27. | Cease, my son, to hear instruction `Only' to err from the words of knowledge. | 
| 28. | A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity. | 
| 29. | Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools. |
