1  Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an
house full of sacrifices with strife. 

 2  A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth
shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the
brethren. 

 3  The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:
but the LORD trieth the hearts. 

 4  A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar
giveth ear to a naughty tongue. 

 5  Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he
that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. 

 6  Children's children are the crown of old men; and the
glory of children are their fathers. 

 7  Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying
lips a prince. 

 8  A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that
hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 

 9  He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he
that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 

 10  A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred
stripes into a fool. 

 11  An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel
messenger shall be sent against him. 

 12  Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than
a fool in his folly. 

 13  Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart
from his house. 

 14  The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out
water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled
with. 

 15  He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth
the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 

 16  Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get
wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? 

 17  A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for
adversity. 

 18  A man void of understanding striketh hands, and
becometh surety in the presence of his friend. 

 19  He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that
exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. 

 20  He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he
that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. 

 21  He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and
the father of a fool hath no joy. 

 22  A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken
spirit drieth the bones. 

 23  A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert
the ways of judgment. 

 24  Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the
eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 

 25  A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness
to her that bare him. 

 26  Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike
princes for equity. 

 27  He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of
understanding is of an excellent spirit.  28  Even a fool,
when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that
shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
