1 The king’s heart
2 Every way of a man
3 To do justice and judgment
4 An high look, and a proud heart,
5 The thoughts of the diligent
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8 The way of man
9 It is
10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 The righteous
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
15 It is
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
17 He that loveth pleasure
18 The wicked
19 It is
20 There is
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22 A wise
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24 Proud
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked
28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but
30 There is
31 The horse
