1 The wisest of women builds up her home,
2 Whoever lives right fears the Lord,
3 Because of a stubborn fool’s words a whip is lifted against him,
4 Where there are no cattle, the feeding trough is empty,
5 A trustworthy witness does not lie,
6 A mocker searches for wisdom without finding it,
7 Stay away from a fool,
8 The wisdom of a sensible person guides his way of life,
9 Stubborn fools make fun of guilt,
10 The heart knows its own bitterness,
11 The houses of wicked people will be destroyed,
12 There is a way that seems right to a person,
13 Even while laughing a heart can ache,
14 A heart that turns ⌞from God⌟ becomes bored with its own ways,
15 A gullible person believes anything,
16 A wise person is cautious and turns away from evil,
17 A short-tempered person acts stupidly,
18 Gullible people are gifted with stupidity,
19 Evil people will bow to good people.
20 A poor person is hated even by his neighbor,
21 Whoever despises his neighbor sins,
22 Don’t those who stray plan what is evil,
23 In hard work there is always something gained,
24 The crown of wise people is their wealth.
25 An honest witness saves lives,
26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life
28 A large population is an honor for a king,
29 A person of great understanding is patient,
30 A tranquil heart makes for a healthy body,
31 Whoever oppresses the poor insults his maker,
32 A wicked person is thrown down by his own wrongdoing,
33 Wisdom finds rest in the heart of an understanding person.
34 Righteousness lifts up a nation,
35 A king is delighted with a servant who acts wisely,
