Better
is the poor
that walketh
in his integrity,
than he that is perverse
in his lips,
and is a fool.
Also, that the soul
be without knowledge,
it is not good;
and he that hasteth
with his feet
sinneth.
The foolishness
of man
perverteth
his way:
and his heart
fretteth
against the LORD.
Wealth
maketh
many
friends;
but the poor
is separated
from his neighbour.
A false
witness
shall not be unpunished,
and he that speaketh
lies
shall not escape.
Many
will intreat
the favour
of the prince:
and every man is a friend
to him
that giveth gifts.
All the brethren
of the poor
do hate
him: how much more do his friends
go far
from him? he pursueth
them with words,
yet they are wanting to him.

He that getteth
wisdom
loveth
his own soul:
he that keepeth
understanding
shall find
good.
A false
witness
shall not be unpunished,
and he that speaketh
lies
shall perish.
Delight
is not seemly
for a fool;
much less for a servant
to have rule
over princes.
The discretion
of a man
deferreth
his anger;
and it is his glory
to pass over
a transgression.
acting contrary to law
παρανόμοις
paranomois
The king's
wrath
is as the roaring
of a lion;
but his favour
is as dew
upon the grass.
A foolish
son
is the calamity
of his father:
and the contentions
of a wife
are a continual
dropping.
House
and riches
are the inheritance
of fathers:
and a prudent
wife
is from the LORD.
Slothfulness
casteth
into a deep sleep;
and an idle
soul
shall suffer hunger.
He that keepeth
the commandment
keepeth
his own soul;
but he that despiseth
his ways
shall die.
He that hath pity
upon the poor
lendeth
unto the LORD;
and that which he hath given
will he pay him again.
Chasten
thy son
while there is
hope,
and let not thy soul
spare
for his crying.
A man
of great
wrath
shall suffer
punishment:
for if thou deliver
him, yet thou must do it again.
Hear
counsel,
and receive
instruction,
that thou mayest be wise
in thy latter end.
There are many
devices
in a man's
heart;
nevertheless the counsel
of the LORD,
that shall stand.
The desire
of a man
is his kindness:
and a poor man
is better
than
a liar.
The fear
of the LORD
tendeth to life:
and he that hath it shall abide
satisfied;
he shall not be visited
with evil.
A slothful
man hideth
his hand
in his bosom,
and will not so much as bring
it to his mouth
again.
Smite
a scorner,
and the simple
will beware:
and reprove
one that hath understanding,
and he will understand
knowledge.
He that wasteth
his father,
and chaseth away
his mother,
is a son
that causeth shame,
and bringeth reproach.
Cease,
my son,
to hear
the instruction
that causeth to err
from the words
of knowledge.
An ungodly
witness
scorneth
judgment:
and the mouth
of the wicked
devoureth
iniquity.
Judgments
are prepared
for scorners,
and stripes
for the back
of fools.
