Whoever walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.
-
By the mouth of a fool comes a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
-
Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.
-
A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies.
-

-
Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.

-
The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
-
The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
-
The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, but the rich has many friends.
-
Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.
-
Do they not go astray who devise evil? Those who devise good meet steadfast love and faithfulness.
-
In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.
-
The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.
-
A truthful witness saves lives, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful.
-
In the fear of the LORD one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.
-
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.
-
In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.
-
Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
-
A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.
-
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.
-
The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but the righteous finds refuge in his death.
-
Wisdom rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.

A servant who deals wisely has the king's favor, but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.
