Dual Panel1Better<2896> is a dry<2720> morsel<6595> and quietness<7962> with it Than<4480> a house<1004> full<4392> of feasting<2077> with strife<7379>.
2A servant<5650> who acts<7919> wisely<7919> will rule<4910> over a son<1121> who acts<954> shamefully<954>, And will share<2505> in the inheritance<5159> among<8432> brothers<251>.
3The refining<4715> pot<4715> is for silver<3701> and the furnace<3564> for gold<2091>, But the LORD<3068> tests<974> hearts<3820>.
4An evildoer<7489> listens<7181> to wicked<205> lips<8193>; A liar<8267> pays<238> attention<238> to a destructive<1942> tongue<3956>.
5He who mocks<3932> the poor<7326> taunts<2778> his Maker<6213>; He who rejoices<8056> at calamity<343> will not go<5352> unpunished<5352>.
6Grandchildren<1121> are the crown<5850> of old<2205> men<2205>, And the glory<8597> of sons<1121> is their fathers<1>.
7Excellent<3499> speech<8193> is not fitting<5000> for a fool<5036>, Much<637><3588> less<637> are lying<8267> lips<8193> to a prince<5081>.
8A bribe<7810> is a charm<68><2580> in the sight<5869> of its owner<1167>; Wherever<413><3605><834> he turns<6437>, he prospers<7919>.
9He who conceals<3680> a transgression<6588> seeks<1245> love<160>, But he who repeats<8138> a matter<1697> separates<6504> intimate<441> friends<441>.
10A rebuke<1606> goes<5181> deeper<5181> into one who has<995> understanding<995> Than<4480> a hundred<3967> blows<5221> into a fool<3684>.
11A rebellious<4805> man<4805> seeks<1245> only<389> evil<7451>, So a cruel<394> messenger<4397> will be sent<7971> against him.
12Let a man<376> meet<6298> a bear<1677> robbed<7909> of her cubs<7909>, Rather<408> than a fool<3684> in his folly<200>.
13He who returns<7725> evil<7463> for good<2899>, Evil<7463> will not depart<4185> from his house<1004>.
14The beginning<7225> of strife<4066> is like letting<6362> out water<4325>, So abandon<5203> the quarrel<7379> before<6440> it breaks<1566> out.
15He who justifies<6663> the wicked<7563> and he who condemns<7561> the righteous<6662>, Both<1571><8147> of them alike<1571> are an abomination<8441> to the LORD<3068>.
16Why<4100><2088> is there a price<4242> in the hand<3027> of a fool<3684> to buy<7069> wisdom<2451>, When he has<369> no<369> sense<3820>?
17A friend<7453> loves<157> at all<3605> times<6256>, And a brother<251> is born<3205> for adversity<7463>.
18A man<120> lacking<2638> in sense<3820> pledges<8628><3709> And becomes<6148> guarantor<6161> in the presence<6440> of his neighbor<7453>.
19He who loves<157> transgression<6588> loves<157> strife<4683>; He who raises<1361> his door<6607> seeks<1245> destruction<7667>.
20He who<6141> has<6141> a crooked<6141> mind<3820> finds<4672> no<3808> good<2896>, And he who is perverted<2015> in his language<3956> falls<5307> into evil<7463>.
21He who sires<3205> a fool<3684> does so to his sorrow<8424>, And the father<1> of a fool<5036> has<8055> no<3808> joy<8055>.
22A joyful<8056> heart<3820> is good<3190> medicine<1456>, But a broken<5218> spirit<7307> dries<3001> up the bones<1634>.
23A wicked<7563> man<7563> receives<3947> a bribe<7810> from the bosom<2436> To pervert<5186> the ways<734> of justice<4941>.
24Wisdom<2451> is in the presence<6440> of the one who has<995> understanding<995>, But the eyes<5869> of a fool<3684> are on the ends<7097> of the earth<776>.
25A foolish<3684> son<1121> is a grief<3708> to his father<1> And bitterness<4470> to her who bore<3205> him.
26It is also<1571> not good<2896> to fine<6064> the righteous<6662>, Nor to strike<5221> the noble<5081> for their uprightness<3476>.
27He who restrains<2820> his words<561> has<3045> knowledge<1847>, And he who<7119> has a cool<7119> spirit<7307> is a man<376> of understanding<8394>.
28Even<1571> a fool<191>, when he keeps<2790> silent<2790>, is considered<2803> wise<2450>; When he closes<331> his lips<8193>, he is considered prudent<995>.
