2 A fool hath no delight in understanding but that his heart may discover itself

3 When the wicked cometh then cometh also contempt and with ignominy reproach

4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked to overthrow the righteous in judgment

6 A fool's lips enter into contention and his mouth calleth for strokes

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction and his lips are the snare of his soul

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly

9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower the righteous runneth into it and is safe

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city and as an high wall in his own conceit

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty and before honour is humility

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it it is folly and shame unto him

14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity but a wounded spirit who can bear

15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge

16 A man's gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men

17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him

18 The lot causeth contentions to cease and parteth between the mighty

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city and their contentions __ are like the bars of a castle

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favour of the LORD

23 The poor useth intreaties but the rich answereth roughly

24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother
