The Book of Proverbs

The poor who walks in his integrity [is] better than he who [is] perverse in his lips, who [is] a fool.

Also, without knowledge the soul [is] not good, and he who hurries with his feet sins.

The foolishness of man overturns his way, and his heart rages against Jehovah.

Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his neighbor.

A false witness shall not be acquitted; yea, a breather of lies shall not escape.

Many will beg the favor of a noble, and all [are] friends to him who give gifts.

All the poor man's brothers hate him, and his friends also surely leave him; he pursues [them] with words, [yet] they are not.

He who gets heart loves his own soul, he who keeps understanding finds good.

A false witness shall not be acquitted; yea, he who speaks lies shall perish.

Luxury is not becoming for a fool, much less for a servant to rule over princes.

A man's discretion makes his anger slow, and his glory [is] to pass over a transgression.

The king's wrath [is] like a lion's roar, but his favor [is] like dew on the grass.

A foolish son [is] calamity to his father, and a wife's quarreling a never ending dripping.

House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers, but a prudent wife [is] from Jehovah.

Laziness makes one fall into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

He who keeps the commandment keeps his own soul, he who despises His ways shall die.

He who has pity on the poor lends to Jehovah, and He will reward his dealing to him.

Chasten your son, for there is hope, and do not set your soul on making him die.

A man great of fury will have to pay the fine, for if you deliver [him], then you must do it again.

Hear advice and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

The desire of a man [is] his kindness, and a poor man [is] better than a liar.

The fear of Jehovah [tends] to life, and he shall rest satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.

A lazy one puts his hand in a dish, and he will not return it to his mouth.

Strike a scorner and the simple will become careful; reprove a discerner, and he will discern knowledge.

He who assaults [his] father chases his mother away, he [is] a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

My son, cease to hear the discipline, [and you will] err from the words of knowledge.

A worthless witness scorns justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours evil.

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and blows for the backs of fools.
