2 For their heart studieth destruction and their lips talk of mischief
3 Through wisdom is an house builded and by understanding it is established
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches
5 A wise man is strong yea a man of knowledge increaseth strength
6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war and in multitude of counsellors there is safety
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool he openeth not his mouth in the gate
8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person
9 The thought of foolishness is sin and the scorner is an abomination to men
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity thy strength is small
11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death and those that are ready to be slain
12 If thou sayest Behold we knew it not doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it and he that keepeth thy soul doth not he know it and shall not he render to every man according to his works
13 My son eat thou honey because it is good and the honeycomb which is sweet to thy taste
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul when thou hast found it then there shall be a reward and thy expectation shall not be cut off
15 Lay not wait O wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous spoil not his resting place
16 For a just man falleth seven times and riseth up again but the wicked shall fall into mischief
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth
18 Lest the LORD see it and it displease __ him and he turn away his wrath from him
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men neither be thou envious at the wicked
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man the candle of the wicked shall be put out
21 My son fear thou the LORD and the king and meddle not with them that are given to change
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly and who knoweth the ruin of them both
23 These things also belong to the wise It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment
24 He that saith unto the wicked Thou art righteous him shall the people curse nations shall abhor him
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight and a good blessing shall come upon them
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer
27 Prepare thy work without and make it fit for thyself in the field and afterwards build thine house
28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause and deceive not with thy lips
29 Say not I will do so to him as he hath done to me I will render to the man according to his work
30 I went by the field of the slothful __ and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding
31 And lo it was all grown over with thorns and nettles had covered the face thereof and the stone wall thereof was broken down
32 Then I saw and considered it well __ I looked upon it and received instruction
33 Yet a little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the hands to sleep
34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth and thy want as an armed man
