| 1 | The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands. | |
| 2 | He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him. | |
| 3 | In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise will preserve them. | |
| 4 | Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; But much increase comes by the strength of an ox. | |
| 5 | A faithful witness does not lie, But a false witness will utter lies. | |
| 6 | A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, But knowledge is easy to him who understands. | |
| 7 | Go from the presence of a foolish man, When you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. | |
| 8 | The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, But the folly of fools is deceit. | |
| 9 | Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is favor. | |
| 10 | The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its joy. | |
| 11 | The house of the wicked will be overthrown, But the tent of the upright will flourish. | |
| 12 | There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. | |
| 13 | Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief. | |
| 14 | The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above. | |
| 15 | The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps. | |
| 16 | A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident. | |
| 17 | A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of wicked intentions is hated. | |
| 18 | The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge. | |
| 19 | The evil will bow before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous. | |
| 20 | The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor, But the rich has many friends. | |
| 21 | He who despises his neighbor sins; But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he. | |
| 22 | Do they not go astray who devise evil? But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good. | |
| 23 | In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty. | |
| 24 | The crown of the wise is their riches, But the foolishness of fools is folly. | |
| 25 | A true witness delivers souls, But a deceitful witness speaks lies. | |
| 26 | In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. | |
| 27 | The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. | |
| 28 | In a multitude of people is a king's honor, But in the lack of people is the downfall of a prince. | |
| 29 | He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly. | |
| 30 | A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones. | |
| 31 | He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy. | |
| 32 | The wicked is banished in his wickedness, But the righteous has a refuge in his death. | |
| 33 | Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known. | |
| 34 | Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people. | |
| 35 | The king's favor is toward a wise servant, But his wrath is against him who causes shame. | |
