Better²⁸⁹⁶ is a dry²⁷²⁰ morsel,⁶⁵⁹⁵ and quietness⁷⁹⁶² therewith, than an house¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹² of sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ with strife.⁷³⁷⁹

A wise⁷⁹¹⁹ servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall have rule⁴⁹¹⁰ over a son¹¹²¹ that causeth shame,⁹⁵⁴ and shall have part²⁵⁰⁵ of the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ among⁸⁴³² the brethren.²⁵¹

The fining pot⁴⁷¹⁵ is for silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the furnace³⁵⁶⁴ for gold:²⁰⁹¹ but Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ trieth⁹⁷⁴ the hearts.³⁸²⁶

A wicked doer⁷⁴⁸⁹ giveth heed⁷¹⁸¹ to false²⁰⁵ lips;⁸¹⁹³ and a liar⁸²⁶⁷ giveth ear²³⁸ to a naughty¹⁹⁴² tongue.³⁹⁵⁶

Whoso mocketh³⁹³² the poor⁷³²⁶ reproacheth²⁷⁷⁸ his Maker:⁶²¹³ and he that is glad⁸⁰⁵⁶ at calamities³⁴³ shall not be unpunished.⁵³⁵²

Children's¹¹²¹ children¹¹²¹ are the crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ of old men;²²⁰⁵ and the glory⁸⁵⁹⁷ of children¹¹²¹ are their fathers.¹

Excellent³⁴⁹⁹ speech⁸¹⁹³ becometh⁵⁰⁰⁰ not a fool:⁵⁰³⁶ much less do lying⁸²⁶⁷ lips⁸¹⁹³ a prince.⁵⁰⁸¹

A gift⁷⁸¹⁰ is as a precious²⁵⁸⁰ stone⁶⁸ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of him that hath¹¹⁶⁷ it: whithersoever it turneth,⁶⁴³⁷ it prospereth.⁷⁹¹⁹

He that covereth³⁶⁸⁰ a transgression⁶⁵⁸⁸ seeketh¹²⁴⁵ love;¹⁶⁰ but he that repeateth⁸¹³⁸ a matter¹⁶⁹⁷ separateth⁶⁵⁰⁴ very friends.⁴⁴¹

A reproof¹⁶⁰⁶ entereth⁵¹⁸¹ more into a wise man⁹⁹⁵ than an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ stripes⁵²²¹ into a fool.³⁶⁸⁴

An evil⁷⁴⁵¹ man seeketh¹²⁴⁵ only rebellion:⁴⁸⁰⁵ therefore a cruel³⁹⁴ messenger⁴³⁹⁷ shall be sent⁷⁹⁷¹ against him.

Let a bear¹⁶⁷⁷ robbed⁷⁹⁰⁹ of her whelps meet⁶²⁹⁸ a man,³⁷⁶ rather than⁴⁰⁸ a fool³⁶⁸⁴ in his folly.²⁰⁰

Whoso rewardeth⁷⁷²⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ for good,²⁸⁹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ shall not depart⁴¹⁸⁵ from his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

The beginning⁷²²⁵ of strife⁴⁰⁶⁶ is as when one letteth out⁶³⁶² water:⁴³²⁵ therefore leave off⁵²⁰³ contention,⁷³⁷⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ it be meddled¹⁵⁶⁶ with.

He that justifieth⁶⁶⁶³ the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ and he that condemneth⁷⁵⁶¹ the just,⁶⁶⁶² even they both⁸¹⁴⁷ are abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ to Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

Wherefore is there a price⁴²⁴² in the hand³⁰²⁷ of a fool³⁶⁸⁴ to get⁷⁰⁶⁹ wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ seeing he hath no heart³⁸²⁰ to it?

A friend⁷⁴⁵³ loveth¹⁵⁷ at all times,⁶²⁵⁶ and a brother²⁵¹ is born³²⁰⁵ for adversity.⁶⁸⁶⁹

A man¹²⁰ void²⁶³⁸ of understanding³⁸²⁰ striketh⁸⁶²⁸ hands,³⁷⁰⁹ and becometh⁶¹⁴⁸ surety⁶¹⁶¹ in the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of his friend.⁷⁴⁵³

He loveth¹⁵⁷ transgression⁶⁵⁸⁸ that loveth¹⁵⁷ strife:⁴⁶⁸³ and he that exalteth¹³⁶¹ his gate⁶⁶⁰⁷ seeketh¹²⁴⁵ destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

He that hath a froward⁶¹⁴¹ heart³⁸²⁰ findeth⁴⁶⁷² no good:²⁸⁹⁶ and he that hath a perverse²⁰¹⁵ tongue³⁹⁵⁶ falleth⁵³⁰⁷ into mischief.⁷⁴⁵¹

He that begetteth³²⁰⁵ a fool³⁶⁸⁴ doeth it to his sorrow:⁸⁴²⁴ and the father¹ of a fool⁵⁰³⁶ hath no joy.⁸⁰⁵⁵

A merry⁸⁰⁵⁶ heart³⁸²⁰ doeth good³¹⁹⁰ like a medicine:¹⁴⁵⁶ but a broken⁵²¹⁸ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ drieth³⁰⁰¹ the bones.¹⁶³⁴

A wicked⁷⁵⁶³ man taketh³⁹⁴⁷ a gift⁷⁸¹⁰ out of the bosom²⁴³⁶ to pervert⁵¹⁸⁶ the ways⁷³⁴ of judgment.⁴⁹⁴¹

Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ is before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him that hath understanding;⁹⁹⁵ but the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of a fool³⁶⁸⁴ are in the ends⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the earth.⁷⁷⁶

A foolish³⁶⁸⁴ son¹¹²¹ is a grief³⁷⁰⁸ to his father,¹ and bitterness⁴⁴⁷⁰ to her that bare³²⁰⁵ him.

Also to punish⁶⁰⁶⁴ the just⁶⁶⁶² is not good,²⁸⁹⁶ nor to strike⁵²²¹ princes⁵⁰⁸¹ for equity.³⁴⁷⁶

He that hath³⁰⁴⁵ knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ spareth²⁸²⁰ his words:⁵⁶¹ and a man³⁷⁶ of understanding⁸³⁹⁴ is of an excellent³³⁶⁸ spirit.⁷³⁰⁷

Even a fool,¹⁹¹ when he holdeth his peace,²⁷⁹⁰ is counted²⁸⁰³ wise:²⁴⁵⁰ and he that shutteth³³¹ his lips⁸¹⁹³ is esteemed a man of understanding.⁹⁹⁵
