[1] He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire,
And rageth against all sound wisdom.
[2] A fool hath no delight in understanding,
But only that his heart may reveal itself.
[3] When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt,
And with ignominy cometh reproach.
[4] The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters;
The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
[5] To respect the person of the wicked is not good,
Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
[6] A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calleth for stripes.
[7] A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
[8] The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts.
[9] He also that is slack in his work
Is brother to him that is a destroyer.
[10] The name of Jehovah is a strong tower;
The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
[11] The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And as a high wall in his own imagination.
[12] Before destruction the heart of man is haughty;
And before honor goeth humility.
[13] He that giveth answer before he heareth,
It is folly and shame unto him.
[14] The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;
But a broken spirit who can bear?
[15] The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
[16] A man’s gift maketh room for him,
And bringeth him before great men.
[17] He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just;
But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out.
[18] The lot causeth contentions to cease,
And parteth between the mighty.
[19] A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city;
And such contentions are like the bars of a castle.
[20] A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth;
With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
[21] Death and life are in the power of the tongue;
And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
[22] Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
[23] The poor useth entreaties;
But the rich answereth roughly.
[24] He that maketh many friends doeth it to his own destruction;
But there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
