| 1 | Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. |
| 2 | He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but {he that is} perverse in his ways despiseth him. |
| 3 | In the mouth of the foolish {is} a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. |
| 4 | Where no oxen {are}, the crib {is} clean: but much increase {is} by the strength of the ox. |
| 5 | A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. |
| 6 | A scorner seeketh wisdom, and {findeth it} not: but knowledge {is} easy unto him that understandeth. |
| 7 | Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not {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 make a mock at sin: but among the righteous {there is} favour. |
| 10 | The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. |
| 11 | The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. |
| 12 | There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof {are} the ways of death. |
| 13 | Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth {is} heaviness. |
| 14 | The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man {shall be satisfied} from himself. |
| 15 | The simple believeth every word: but the prudent {man} looketh well to his going. |
| 16 | A wise {man} feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. |
| 17 | {He that is} soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. |
| 18 | The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. |
| 19 | The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. |
| 20 | The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich {hath} many friends. |
| 21 | He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy {is} he. |
| 22 | Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth {shall be} to them that devise good. |
| 23 | In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips {tendeth} only to penury. |
| 24 | The crown of the wise {is} their riches: {but} the foolishness of fools {is} folly. |
| 25 | A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful {witness} speaketh lies. |
| 26 | In the fear of the Lord {is} strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. |
| 27 | The fear of the Lord {is} a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. |
| 28 | In the multitude of people {is} the king’s honour: but in the want of people {is} the destruction of the prince. |
| 29 | {He that is} slow to wrath {is} of great understanding: but {he that is} hasty of spirit exalteth folly. |
| 30 | A sound heart {is} the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. |
| 31 | He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. |
| 32 | The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. |
| 33 | Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but {that which is} in the midst of fools is made known. |
| 34 | Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin {is} a reproach to any people. |
| 35 | The king’s favour {is} toward a wise servant: but his wrath is {against} him that causeth shame. |
