1Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down. 2He that walketh in his uprightness, is one who revereth Yahweh, but, he that is crooked in his way, is one who despiseth him. 3In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them! 4Without cattle, the crib is clean, but, much increase, is in the strength of the ox. 5A faithful witness, will not deceive, but a false witness, uttereth deceitful things. 6A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and there is none, but, knowledge, to the discerning, is easy. 7Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard, when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge. 8The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud. 9the foolish, scoff at guilt, but, between the upright, is good pleasure. 10The heart, knoweth its own bitterness, and, in its joy, no stranger shareth. 11The house of the lawless, shall be destroyed, but, the tent of the upright, shall flourish. 12There is a way that enticeth a man, but, at the latter end thereof, are the ways of death! 13Even, in laughter, the heart may be in pain, and, the latter end of gladness, be grief. 14With his own ways, shall be filled the backslider in heart, and, from himself, shall a good man 15The simple, believeth every word, but, the prudent, looketh well to his going. 16A wise man, feareth, and avoideth evil, but, a dullard, is haughty and confident. 17The impatient, worketh folly, and, a man of wicked devices, is hated. 18The simple inherit folly, but, the shrewd, crowneth himself with knowledge. 19Abased are the wicked, before the good, and, the lawless, at the gates of the righteous. 20Even by his neighbour, is poor man hated, but, the lovers of the rich man, are many. 21He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, sinneth, but, he that sheweth favour to the afflicted, how happy is he! 22Shall they not, become vagrants, who devise evil? but, lovingkindness and faithfulness, 23By all labour, there will be abundance, but, the talk of the lips, tendeth only to want. 24the crown of the wise, is their wealth, but, the folly of dullards, is, folly. 25A deliverer of souls, is a faithful witness, but, he that uttereth falsehoods, is a fraud. 26In the reverence of Yahweh, is strong security, and, his children, shall have a place of refuge. 27The reverence of Yahweh, is a well-spring of life, that a man may avoid the snares of death. 28In the multitude of a people, is the majesty of the king, but, in the ceasing of population, is the ruin of the prince. 29One slow to anger, hath great understanding, but, the hasty in spirit, exalteth folly. 30The life of the whole body, is a tranquil mind, but, a decay of the bones, is jealousy. 31The oppressor of the poor, hath reproached his Maker, but he that sheweth favour to the needy, is one who, holdeth Him in honour. 32By his own wickedness, shall the lawless man, be thrust down, but the righteous, seeketh refuge in his integrity. 33In the heart of the intelligent, reposeth wisdom, but, in the midst of dullards, it maketh itself known. 34Righteousness, exalteth a nation, but, a reproach to any people, is sin. 35The good-pleasure of a king, is due to a servant who is discreet, but, his indignation, shall be against him that bringeth shame.
