A wise son heareth his father’s instruction:

But a scorner heareth not rebuke.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:

But the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:

But he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing:

But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

A righteous man hateth lying:

But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way:

But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing:

There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

The ransom of a man’s life are his riches:

But the poor heareth not rebuke.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth:

But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

Only by pride cometh contention:

But with the well advised is wisdom.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:

But he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick:

But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed:

But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life,

To depart from the snares of death.

Good understanding giveth favour:

But the way of transgressors is hard.

Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge:

But a fool layeth open his folly.

A wicked messenger falleth into mischief:

But a faithful ambassador is health.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction:

But he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul:

But it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:

But a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

Evil pursueth sinners:

But to the righteous good shall be repayed.

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children:

And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Much food is in the tillage of the poor:

But there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son:

But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul:

But the belly of the wicked shall want.
