is a mocker,
strong drink
is raging:
and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.
The fear
of a king
is as the roaring
of a lion:
whoso provoketh him to anger
sinneth
against his own soul.
It is an honour
for a man
to cease
from strife:
but every fool
will be meddling.

will not plow
by reason of the cold;
therefore shall he beg
in harvest,
and have nothing.
Counsel
in the heart
of man
is like deep
water;
but a man
of understanding
will draw it out.

men
will proclaim
every one
his own goodness:
but a faithful
man
who can find?
The just
man walketh
in his integrity:
his children
are blessed
after
him.
A king
that sitteth in
the throne
of judgment
scattereth away
all evil
with his eyes.
Who can say,
I have made my heart
clean,
I am pure
from my sin?

Even a child
is known
by his doings,
whether his work
be pure,
and whether it be right.
The hearing
ear,
and the seeing
eye,
the LORD
hath made
even both
of them.
Love
not sleep,
lest thou come to poverty;
open
thine eyes,
and thou shalt be satisfied
with bread.
It is naught,
it is naught,
saith
the buyer:
but when he is gone
his way, then he boasteth.
There is
gold,
and a multitude
of rubies:
but the lips
of knowledge
are a precious
jewel.
Take
his garment
that is surety
for a stranger:
and take a pledge
of him for a strange woman.
Bread
of 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
make
war.
He that goeth about
as a talebearer
revealeth
secrets:
therefore meddle
not with him that flattereth
with his lips.

his father
or his mother,
his lamp
shall be put out
in obscure
darkness.

may be gotten hastily
at the beginning;
but the end
thereof shall not be blessed.
Say
not thou, I will recompense
evil;
but wait on
the LORD,
and he shall save
thee.
Divers weights
are an abomination
unto the LORD;
and a false
balance
is not good.
Man's
goings
are of the LORD;
how can a man
then understand
his own way?
It is a snare
to the man
who devoureth
that which is holy,
and after
vows
to make enquiry.
A wise
king
scattereth
the wicked,
and bringeth
the wheel
over them.
The spirit
of man
is the candle
of the LORD,
searching
all the inward parts
of the belly.
Mercy
and truth
preserve
the king:
and his throne
is upholden
by mercy.
The glory
of young men
is their strength:
and the beauty
of old men
is the gray head.
The blueness
of a wound
cleanseth
away evil:
so do stripes
the inward parts
of the belly.
