   2: He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
   3: In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
   4: Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
   5: A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
   6: A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.
   7: Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
   8: The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.
   9: Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
   10: The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.
   11: The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
   12: There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
   13: Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

   15: The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
   16: A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
   17: He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
   18: The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
   19: The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
   20: The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
   21: He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
   22: Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
   23: In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
   24: The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.
   25: A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
   26: In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
   27: The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
   28: In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
   29: He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
   30: A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
   31: He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
