1  Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish
plucketh it down with her hands. 

 2  He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but
he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. 

 3  In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the
lips of the wise shall preserve them. 

 4  Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase
is by the strength of the ox. 

 5  A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness
will utter lies. 

 6  A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but
knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. 

 7  Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou
perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 

 8  The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but
the folly of fools is deceit. 

 9  Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there
is favour. 

 10  The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger
doth not intermeddle with his joy. 

 11  The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the
tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 

 12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death. 

 13  Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of
that mirth is heaviness. 

 14  The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own
ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 

 15  The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man
looketh well to his going. 

 16  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the
fool rageth, and is confident. 

 17  He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of
wicked devices is hated. 

 18  The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned
with knowledge. 

 19  The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the
gates of the righteous. 

 20  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the
rich hath many friends. 

 21  He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that
hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. 

 22  Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth
shall be to them that devise good. 

 23  In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips
tendeth only to penury. 

 24  The crown of the wise is their riches: but the
foolishness of fools is folly. 

 25  A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful
witness speaketh lies. 

 26  In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his
children shall have a place of refuge.  27  The fear of the
LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares
of death. 

 28  In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in
the want of people is the destruction of the prince. 

 29  He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but
he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. 

 30  A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the
rottenness of the bones. 

 31  He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but
he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. 

 32  The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the
righteous hath hope in his death. 

 33  Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath
understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is
made known. 

 34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach
to any people. 

 35  The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his
wrath is against him that causeth shame.
