1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. VP
2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but [he that is] perverse in his ways despiseth him. VP
3 In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. VP
4 Where no oxen [are] , the crib [is] clean: but much increase [is] by the strength of the ox. VP
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. VP
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not: but knowledge [is] easy to him that understandeth. VP
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not [in him] the lips of knowledge. VP
8 The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way: but the folly of fools [is] deceit. VP
9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous [there is] favor. VP
10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy. VP
11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. VP
12 There is a way which seemeth right to a man, but the end of it [are] the ways of death. VP
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth [is] heaviness. VP
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man [shall be satisfied] from himself. VP
15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. VP
16 A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. VP
17 [He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. VP
18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. VP
19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. VP
20 The poor is hated even by his own neighbor: but the rich [hath] many friends. VP
21 He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy [is] he. VP
22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth [shall be] to them that devise good. VP
23 In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury. VP
24 The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the foolishness of fools [is] folly. VP
25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful [witness] speaketh lies. VP
26 In the fear of the LORD [is] strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. VP
27 The fear of the LORD [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. VP
28 In the multitude of people [is] the king's honor: but in the want of people [is] the destruction of the prince. VP
29 [He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding: but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly. VP
30 A sound heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. VP
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoreth him hath mercy on the poor. VP
32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. VP
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but [that which is] in the midst of fools is made known. VP
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people. VP
35 The king's favor [is] towards a wise servant: but his wrath is [against] him that causeth shame. VP
