| 1 | Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, But he who hates reproof is stupid. |
| 2 | A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, But he will condemn a man of wicked devices. |
| 3 | A man shall not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous shall not be moved. |
| 4 | A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, But a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones. |
| 5 | The thoughts of the righteous are just. The advice of the wicked is deceitful. |
| 6 | The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, But the speech of the upright rescues them. |
| 7 | The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, But the house of the righteous shall stand. |
| 8 | A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, But he who has a warped mind shall be despised. |
| 9 | Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, Than he who honors himself, and lacks bread. |
| 10 | A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. |
| 11 | He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, But he who chases fantasies is void of understanding. |
| 12 | The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, But the root of the righteous flourishes. |
| 13 | An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, But the righteous shall come out of trouble. |
| 14 | A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The doings of a man's hands shall be rewarded to him. |
| 15 | The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who is wise listens to counsel. |
| 16 | A fool shows his annoyance the same day, But one who overlooks an insult is prudent. |
| 17 | He who is truthful testifies honestly, But a false witness lies. |
| 18 | There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, But the tongue of the wise heals. |
| 19 | Truth's lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only momentary. |
| 20 | Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, But joy comes to the promoters of peace. |
| 21 | No mischief shall happen to the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil. |
| 22 | Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, But those who do the truth are his delight. |
| 23 | A prudent man keeps his knowledge, But the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness. |
| 24 | The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, But laziness ends in slave labor. |
| 25 | Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, But a kind word makes it glad. |
| 26 | The righteous is cautious in friendship, But the way of the wicked leads them astray. |
| 27 | The slothful man doesn't roast his game, But the possessions of diligent men are prized. |
| 28 | In the way of righteousness is life; In its path there is no death. |
