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