2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him

3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride but the lips of the wise shall preserve them

4 Where no oxen are the crib is clean but much increase is by the strength of the ox

5 A faithful witness will not lie but a false. witness will utter lies

6 A scorner seeketh wisdom and findeth it not but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth

7 Go from the presence of a foolish man when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way but the folly of fools is deceit

9 Fools make a mock at sin but among the righteous there is favour

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy

11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death

13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful and the end of that mirth is heaviness

14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways and a good man shall be satisfied from himself

15 The simple believeth every word but the prudent man looketh well to his going

16 A wise man feareth and departeth from evil but the fool rageth and is confident

17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly and a man of wicked devices is hated

18 The simple inherit folly but the prudent are crowned with knowledge

19 The evil bow before the good and the wicked at the gates of the righteous

20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour but the rich hath many friends

21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth but he that hath mercy on the poor __ happy is he

22 Do they not err that devise evil but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good

23 In all labour there is profit but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury

24 The crown of the wise is their riches but the foolishness of fools is folly

25 A true. witness delivereth souls but a deceitful witness speaketh lies

26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence and his children shall have a place of refuge

27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death

28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince

29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly

30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh but envy the rottenness of the bones

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor

32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness but the righteous hath hope in his death

33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding but that which is in the midst of fools is made known

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people

35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant but his wrath is against him that causeth shame
