* Better is the poor that walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool . * Also , without knowledge the soul is not good ; And he who hurries with his feet sins . * The foolishness of man subverts his way ; And his heart frets against Yahweh . * Wealth adds many companions ; But the poor is separated from his companion . * A false witness will not be unpunished ; And he who utters lies will not escape . * Many will entreat the favor of the liberal man ; And every man is a companion to him who gives gifts . * All the brothers of the poor hate him : How much more do his friends go far from him ! He pursues [them with ] words , [but ] they are gone . * He who gets wisdom loves his own soul : He who keeps understanding will find good . * A false witness will not be unpunished ; And he who utters lies will perish . * Delicate living is not seemly for a fool ; Much less for a slave to have rule over princes . * The discretion of man makes him slow to anger ; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression . * The king 's wrath is as the roaring of a lion ; But his favor is as dew on 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 an inheritance from fathers ; But a prudent wife is from Yahweh . * Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep ; And the idle soul will suffer hunger . * He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul ; [But ] he who is careless of his ways will die . * He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh , And his good deed he will pay him again . * Chasten your son , seeing there is hope ; And don 't set your heart on his destruction . * A man of great wrath will bear the penalty ; For if you deliver [him ], you must do it yet again . * Hear counsel , and receive instruction , That you may be wise in your latter end . * There are many devices in a man 's heart ; But the counsel of Yahweh , that will stand . * That which makes man to be desired is his kindness ; And a poor man is better than a liar . * The fear of Yahweh , [leads ] to life And he [that has it ] will reside satisfied ; He will not be visited with evil . * The sluggard buries his hand in the dish , And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again . * Strike a scoffer , and the simple will learn prudence ; And reprove one who has understanding , [and ] he will understand knowledge . * He who does violence to his father , and chases away his mother , Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach . * Cease , my son , to hear instruction [Only ] to err from the words of knowledge . * A worthless witness mocks at justice ; And the mouth of the wicked swallows iniquity . * Judgments are prepared for scoffers , And stripes for the back of fools .
