1 Every wise woman buildeth her house;
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah;
3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for
4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean;
5 A faithful witness will not lie;
6 A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and
7 Go into the presence of a foolish man,
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way;
9 A trespass-offering mocketh fools;
10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness;
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown;
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man;
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful;
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways;
15 The simple believeth every word;
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil;
17 He that is soon angry will deal foolishly;
18 The simple inherit folly;
19 The evil bow down before the good;
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbor;
21 He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth;
22 Do they not err that devise evil?
23 In all labor there is profit;
24 The crown of the wise is their riches;
25 A true witness delivereth souls;
26 In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence;
27 The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life,
28 In the multitude of people is the king’s glory;
29 He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;
30 A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh;
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker;
32 The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing;
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding;
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation;
35 The king’s favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely;
