* A wise woman buildeth her house : but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built . * He that walketh in the right way , and feareth God , Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way . * In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride : but the lips of the wise preserve them . * Where there are no oxen , the crib is empty : but where there is much corn , there the strength of the ox is manifest . * A faithful witness will not lie : but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie . * A scorner seeketh wisdom , and findeth it not : the learning of the wise is easy . * Go against a foolish man , and he knoweth not the lips of prudence . * The wisdom of a . discreet man is to understand his way : and the imprudence of fools erreth . * A fool will laugh at sin , but among the just grace shall abide . * The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul , in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle . * The house of the wicked shall be destroyed : but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish . * There is a way which seemeth just to a man : but the ends thereof lead to death . * Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow , and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy . * A fool shall be filled with his own ways , and the good man shall be above him . * The innocent believeth every word : the discreet man considereth his steps . No good shall come to the deceitful son : but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings , and his way shall be made straight . * A wise man feareth and declineth from evil : the fool leapeth over and is confident . * The impatient man shall work folly : and the crafty man is hateful . * The childish shall possess folly , and the prudent , shall look for knowledge . * The evil shall fall down before the good : and the wicked before the gates of the just . * The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour : but the friends of the rich are many . * He that despiseth his neighbour , sinneth : but he that sheweth mercy to the poor , shall be blessed . He that believeth in the Lord , loveth mercy . * They err that work evil : but mercy and truth prepare good things . * In much work there shall be abundance : but where there are many words , there is oftentimes want . * The crown of the wise is their riches : the folly of fools , imprudence . * A faithful witness delivereth souls : and the double dealer uttereth lies . * In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength , and there shall be hope for his children . * The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life , to decline from the ruin of death . * In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king : and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince . * He that is patient , is governed with much wisdom : but he that is impatient , exalteth his folly . * Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh : but envy is the rottenness of the bones . * He that oppresseth the poor , upbraideth his Maker : but he that hath pity on the poor , honoureth him . * The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness : but the just hath hope in his death . * In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom , and it shall instruct all the ignorant . * Justice exalteth a nation : but sin maketh nations miserable . * A wise servant is acceptable to the king : he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger .
