1Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge;
2A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah;
3A man shall not be established by wickedness;
4A worthy woman is the crown of her husband;
5The thoughts of the righteous are just;
6The words of the wicked are of lying in wait for blood;
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not;
8A man shall be commended according to his wisdom;
9Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant,
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast;
11He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread;
12The wicked desireth the net of evil men;
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man;
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth;
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;
16A fool’s vexation is presently known;
17He that uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness;
18There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword;
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever;
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil;
21There shall no mischief happen to the righteous;
22Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah;
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge;
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule;
25Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop;
26The righteous is a guide to his neighbor;
27The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting;
28In the way of righteousness is life;
