¹Every wise woman builds her house, ²He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, ³The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, ⁴Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, ⁵An honest witness does not deceive, ⁶A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, ⁷Stay away from a foolish man; ⁸The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, ⁹Fools mock the making of amends, ¹⁰The heart knows its own bitterness, ¹¹The house of the wicked will be destroyed, ¹²There is a way that seems right to a man, ¹³Even in laughter the heart may ache, ¹⁴The backslider in heart receives the fill of his own ways, ¹⁵The simple man believes every word, ¹⁶A wise man fears and turns from evil, ¹⁷A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, ¹⁸The simple inherit folly, ¹⁹The evil bow before the good, ²⁰The poor man is hated even by his neighbor, ²¹He who despises his neighbor sins, ²²Do not those who contrive evil go astray? ²³There is profit in all labor, ²⁴The crown of the wise is their wealth, ²⁵A truthful witness saves lives, ²⁶He who fears the LORD is secure in confidence, ²⁷The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, ²⁸A large population is a king’s splendor, ²⁹A patient man has great understanding, ³⁰A tranquil heart is life to the body, ³¹Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, ³²The wicked man is thrown down by his own sin, ³³Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; ³⁴Righteousness exalts a nation, ³⁵A king delights in a wise servant,
