* Every , wise woman , buildeth up her house , but , a foolish one , with her own hands , would break it down . * He that walketh in his uprightness , is one who revereth Yahweh , but , he that is crooked in his way , is one who despiseth him . * In the mouth of the foolish , is a haughty rod , but , as for the lips of the wise , thou shalt give heed to them ! * Without cattle , the crib is clean , but , much increase , is in the strength of the ox . * A faithful witness , will not deceive , but a false witness , uttereth deceitful things . * A scoffer seeketh wisdom , and there is none , but , knowledge , to the discerning , is easy . * Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard , when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge . * The wisdom of the prudent , is to understand his way , but , the folly of dullards , is a fraud . * the foolish , scoff at guilt , but , between the upright , is good pleasure . * The heart , knoweth its own bitterness , and , in its joy , no stranger shareth . * The house of the lawless , shall be destroyed , but , the tent of the upright , shall flourish . * There is a way that enticeth a man , but , at the latter end thereof , are the ways of death ! * Even , in laughter , the heart may be in pain , and , the latter end of gladness , be grief . * With his own ways , shall be filled the backslider in heart , and , from himself , shall a good man * The simple , believeth every word , but , the prudent , looketh well to his going . * A wise man , feareth , and avoideth evil , but , a dullard , is haughty and confident . * The impatient , worketh folly , and , a man of wicked devices , is hated . * The simple inherit folly , but , the shrewd , crowneth himself with knowledge . * Abased are the wicked , before the good , and , the lawless , at the gates of the righteous . * Even by his neighbour , is poor man hated , but , the lovers of the rich man , are many . * He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour , sinneth , but , he that sheweth favour to the afflicted , how happy is he ! * Shall they not , become vagrants , who devise evil ? but , lovingkindness and faithfulness , * By all labour , there will be abundance , but , the talk of the lips , tendeth only to want . * the crown of the wise , is their wealth , but , the folly of dullards , is , folly . * A deliverer of souls , is a faithful witness , but , he that uttereth falsehoods , is a fraud . * In the reverence of Yahweh , is strong security , and , his children , shall have a place of refuge . * The reverence of Yahweh , is a well-spring of life , that a man may avoid the snares of death . * In the multitude of a people , is the majesty of the king , but , in the ceasing of population , is the ruin of the prince . * One slow to anger , hath great understanding , but , the hasty in spirit , exalteth folly . * The life of the whole body , is a tranquil mind , but , a decay of the bones , is jealousy . * The oppressor of the poor , hath reproached his Maker , but he that sheweth favour to the needy , is one who , holdeth Him in honour . * By his own wickedness , shall the lawless man , be thrust down , but the righteous , seeketh refuge in his integrity . * In the heart of the intelligent , reposeth wisdom , but , in the midst of dullards , it maketh itself known . * Righteousness , exalteth a nation , but , a reproach to any people , is sin . * The good-pleasure of a king , is due to a servant who is discreet , but , his indignation , shall be against him that bringeth shame .
