¹Better a poor man who walks with integrity ²Even zeal is no good without knowledge, ³A man’s own folly subverts his way, ⁴Wealth attracts many friends, ⁵A false witness will not go unpunished, ⁶Many seek the favor of the prince, ⁷All the brothers of a poor man hate him — ⁸He who acquires wisdom loves himself; ⁹A false witness will not go unpunished, ¹⁰Luxury is unseemly for a fool— ¹¹A man’s insight gives him patience, ¹²A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, ¹³A foolish son is his father’s ruin, ¹⁴Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, ¹⁵Laziness brings on deep sleep, ¹⁶He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, ¹⁷Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, ¹⁸Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; ¹⁹A man of great anger must pay the penalty; ²⁰Listen to counsel and accept discipline, ²¹Many plans are in a man’s heart, ²²The desire of a man is loving devotion; ²³The fear of the LORD leads to life, ²⁴The slacker buries his hand in the dish; ²⁵Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; ²⁶He who assaults his father or evicts his mother ²⁷If you cease to hear instruction, my son, ²⁸A corrupt witness mocks justice, ²⁹Judgments are prepared for mockers,
