1 The king’s heart is like streams of water.
2 A person thinks everything he does is right,
3 Doing what is right and fair
4 A conceited look and an arrogant attitude,
5 The plans of a hard-working person lead to prosperity,
6 Those who gather wealth by lying are wasting time.
7 The violence of wicked people will drag them away
8 The way of a guilty person is crooked,
9 Better to live on a corner of a roof
10 The mind of a wicked person desires evil
11 When a mocker is punished, a gullible person becomes wise,
12 A righteous person wisely considers the house of a wicked person.
13 Whoever shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will call and not be answered.
14 A gift ⌞given⌟ in secret calms anger,
15 When justice is done, a righteous person is delighted,
16 A person who wanders from the way of wise behavior
17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor.
18 Wicked people become a ransom for righteous people,
19 Better to live in a desert
20 Costly treasure and wealth are in the home of a wise person,
21 Whoever pursues righteousness and mercy
22 A wise man attacks a city of warriors
23 Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
24 An arrogant, conceited person is called a mocker.
25 The desire of a lazy person will kill him
26 All day long he feels greedy,
27 The sacrifice of wicked people is disgusting,
28 A lying witness will die,
29 A wicked person puts up a bold front,
30 No wisdom, no understanding, and no advice
31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
