* Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity , than he that is perverse in his lips , and is a fool . * Also , that the soul be without knowledge , it is not good ; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth . * The foolishness of man perverteth his way : and his heart fretteth against the LORD . * Wealth maketh many friends ; but the poor is separated from his neighbour . * A false witness shall not be unpunished , and he that speaketh lies shall not escape . * Many will intreat the favour of the prince : and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts . * All the brethren of the poor do hate him : how much more do his friends go far from him ? he pursueth them with words , yet they are wanting to him . * He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul : he that keepeth understanding shall find good . * A false witness shall not be unpunished , and he that speaketh lies shall perish . * Delight is not seemly for a fool ; much less for a servant to have rule over princes . * The discretion of a man deferreth his anger ; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression . * The king 's wrath is as the roaring of a lion ; but his favour is as dew upon the grass . * A foolish son is the calamity of his father : and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping . * House and riches are the inheritance of fathers : and a prudent wife is from the LORD . * Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep ; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger . * He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul ; but he that despiseth his ways shall die . * He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again . * Chasten thy son while there is hope , and let not thy soul spare for his crying . * A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment : for if thou deliver him , yet thou must do it again . * Hear counsel , and receive instruction , that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end . * There are many devices in a man 's heart ; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD , that shall stand .
