1Every wise <02454> woman <0802> builds <01129> her household <01004>, but a foolish <0200> woman tears <02040> it down <02040> with her own hands <03027>.
2The one who walks <01980> in his uprightness <03476> fears <03373> the Lord <03068>, but the one who is perverted <03868> in his ways <01870> despises <0959> him.
3In the speech <06310> of a fool <0191> is a rod <02415> for his back <01346>, but the words <08193> of the wise <02450> protect <08104> them.
4Where there are no <0369> oxen <0504>, the feeding trough <018> is clean <01249>, but an abundant <07230> harvest <08393> is produced by strong <03581> oxen <07794>.
5A truthful <0529> witness <05707> does not <03808> lie <03576>, but a false <03577> witness <05707> breathes <06315> out lies <08267>.
6The scorner <03887> seeks <01245> wisdom <02451> but finds none <0369>, but understanding <01847> is easy <07043> for a discerning <0995> person.
7Leave <01980> the presence <05048> of a foolish <03684> person <0376>, or you will not <01077> understand <03045> wise counsel <01847> <08193>.
8The wisdom <02451> of the shrewd <06175> person is to discern <0995> his way <01870>, but the folly <0200> of fools <03684> is deception <04820>.
9Fools <0191> mock <03887> at reparation <0817>, but among <0996> the upright <03477> there is favor <07522>.
10The heart <03820> knows <03045> its own <05315> bitterness <04751>, and with its joy <08057> no <03808> one else <02114> can share <06148>.
11The household <01004> of the wicked <07563> will be destroyed <08045>, but the tent <0168> of the upright <03477> will flourish <06524>.
12There <03426> is a way <01870> that seems right <03477> to <06440> a person <0376>, but its end <0319> is the way <01870> that leads to death <04194>.
13Even <01571> in laughter <07814> the heart <03820> may ache <03510>, and the end <0319> of joy <08057> may be grief <08424>.
14The backslider <03820> <05472> will be paid back <07646> from <05921> his own ways <01870>, but a good <02896> person <0376> will be rewarded for his.
15A naive person <06612> believes <0539> everything <03605>, but the shrewd <06175> person discerns <0995> his steps <0838>.
16A wise person <02450> is cautious <03373> and turns <05493> from evil <07451>, but a fool <03684> throws off <05674> restraint and is overconfident <0982>.
17A person who has a quick <07116> temper <0639> does <06213> foolish <0200> things, and a person <0376> with crafty schemes <04209> is hated <08130>.
18The naive <06612> inherit <05157> folly <0200>, but the shrewd <06175> are crowned <03803> with knowledge <01847>.
19Those who are evil <07451> will bow <07817> before <06440> those who are good <02896>, and the wicked <07563> will bow at <05921> the gates <08179> of the righteous <06662>.
20A poor person <07326> is disliked <08130> even <01571> by his neighbors <07453>, but those who love <0157> the rich <06223> are many <07227>.
21The one who despises <0936> his neighbor <07453> sins <02398>, but whoever is kind <02603> to the needy <06041> is blessed <0835>.
22Do not <03808> those who devise <08582> evil <07451> go astray? But those who plan <02790> good <02896> exhibit faithful <0571> <02617> covenant love.
23In all <03605> hard work <06089> there is profit <04195>, but merely talking <01697> about it <08193> only <0389> brings poverty <04270>.
24The crown <05850> of the wise <02450> is their riches <06239>, but the folly <0200> of fools <03684> is folly <0200>.
25A truthful <0571> witness <05707> rescues <05337> lives <05315>, but the one who breathes <06315> lies <03577> brings deception <04820>.
26In the fear <03374> of the Lord <03069> one has strong <05797> confidence <04009>, and it will be <01961> a refuge <04268> for his children <01121>.
27The fear <03374> of the Lord <03068> is like a life-giving <02416> fountain <04726>, to turn <05493> people from deadly <04194> snares <04170>.
28A king’s <04428> glory <01927> is the abundance <07230> of people <05971>, but the lack <0657> of subjects <03816> is the ruin <04288> of a ruler <07333>.
29The one who is slow <0750> to anger <0639> has great <07227> understanding <08394>, but the one who has a quick <07116> temper <07307> exalts <07311> folly <0200>.
30A tranquil <04832> spirit <03820> revives <02416> the body <01320>, but envy <07068> is rottenness <07538> to the bones <06106>.
31The one who oppresses <06231> the poor <01800> insults <02778> his Creator <06213>, but whoever shows favor <02603> to the needy <034> honors <03513> him.
32The wicked <07451> will be thrown down <01760> in his trouble <07563>, but the righteous <06662> have refuge <02620> even in the threat of death <04194>.
33Wisdom <02451> rests <05117> in the heart <03820> of the discerning <0995>; it is known <03045> even in the heart <07130> of fools <03684>.
34Righteousness <06666> exalts <07311> a nation <01471>, but sin <02403> is a disgrace <02617> to any people <03816>.
35The king <04428> shows favor <07522> to a wise <07919> servant <05650>, but his wrath <05678> falls on one who acts shamefully <0954>.
