| 001 | Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. |
| 002 | A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. |
| 003 | The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. |
| 004 | A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. |
| 005 | Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. |
| 006 | Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. |
| 007 | Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. |
| 008 | A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. |
| 009 | He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. |
| 010 | A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. |
| 011 | An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. |
| 012 | Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. |
| 013 | Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. |
| 014 | The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. |
| 015 | He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. |
| 016 | Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? |
| 017 | A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. |
| 018 | A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. |
| 019 | He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. |
| 020 | He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. |
| 021 | He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. |
| 022 | A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. |
| 023 | A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. |
| 024 | Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. |
| 025 | A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. |
| 026 | Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. |
| 027 | He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. |
| 028 | Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. |
