Dual Panel1Better <02896> is a poor person <07326> who walks <01980> in his integrity <08537> than one who is perverse <06141> in his speech <08193> and is a fool <03684>.
2It is dangerous <02896> to have zeal <05315> without <03808> knowledge <01847>, and the one who acts hastily <07272> <0213> makes poor <02398> choices.
3A person’s <0120> folly <0200> subverts <05557> his way <01870>, and his heart <03820> rages <02196> against <05921> the Lord <03068>.
4Wealth <01952> adds <03254> many <07227> friends <07453>, but a poor <01800> person is separated <06504> from his friend <07453>.
5A false <08267> witness <05707> will not <03808> go unpunished <05352>, and the one who spouts out <06315> lies <03577> will not <03808> escape <04422> punishment.
6Many <07227> people entreat <02470> the favor <06440> of a generous person <05081>, and everyone <03605> is the friend <07453> of the person <0376> who gives gifts <04976>.
7All <03605> the relatives <0251> of a poor person <07326> hate <08130> him; how much more <03588> <0637> do his friends <04828> avoid <07368> him– he pursues <07291> them with <04480> words <0561>, but they <01992> do not respond <03808>.
8The one who acquires <07069> wisdom <03820> loves <0157> himself <05315>; the one who preserves <08104> understanding <08394> will prosper <02896> <04672>.
9A false <08267> witness <05707> will not <03808> go unpunished <05352>, and the one who spouts out <06315> lies <03577> will perish <06>.
10Luxury <08588> is not <03808> appropriate <05000> for a fool <03684>; how much less <03588> <0637> for a servant <05650> to rule <04910> over princes <08269>!
11A person’s <0120> wisdom <07922> makes him slow <0748> to anger <0639>, and it is his glory <08597> to overlook <05674> an offense <06588>.
12A king’s <04428> wrath <05099> is like the roar <02197> of a lion <03715>, but his favor <07522> is like dew <02919> on <05921> the grass <06212>.
13A foolish <03684> child <01121> is the ruin <01942> of his father <01>, and a contentious <04079> wife <0802> is like a constant <02956> dripping <01812>.
14A house <01004> and wealth <01952> are inherited <05159> from parents <01>, but a prudent <07919> wife <0802> is from the Lord <03068>.
15Laziness <06103> brings on <05307> a deep sleep <08639>, and the idle <07423> person <05315> will go hungry <07456>.
16The one who obeys <08104> commandments <04687> guards <08104> his life <05315>; the one who despises <0959> his ways <01870> will die <04191>.
17The one who is gracious <02603> to the poor <01800> lends <03867> to the Lord <03068>, and the Lord will repay <07999> him for his good deed <01576>.
18Discipline <03256> your child <01121>, for <03588> there is <03426> hope <08615>, but do not <0408> set <05375> your heart <05315> on <0413> causing his death <04191>.
19A person with great anger <01632> <01632> bears <05375> the penalty <06066>, but <03588> if <0518> you deliver <05337> him from it once, you will have to do it again <03254>.
20Listen <08085> to advice <06098> and receive <06901> discipline <04148>, that <04616> you may become wise <02449> by the end <0319> of your life.
21There are many <07227> plans <04284> in a person’s <0376> mind <03820>, but it <01931> is the counsel <06098> of the Lord <03069> which will stand <06965>.
22What is desirable <08378> for a person <0120> is to show loyal love <02617>, and a poor <07326> person <0376> is better <02896> than a liar <03577>.
23Fearing <03374> the Lord <03068> leads to life <02416>, and one who does so will live <03885> satisfied <07649>; he will not <01077> be afflicted <06485> by calamity <07451>.
24The sluggard <06102> plunges <02934> his hand <03027> in the dish <06747>, and he will not <03808> even <01571> bring <07725> it back <07725> to <0413> his mouth <06310>!
25Flog <05221> a scorner <03887>, and as a result the simpleton <06612> will learn prudence <06191>; correct <03198> a discerning person <0995>, and as a result he will understand <0995> knowledge <01847>.
26The one who robs <07703> his father <01> and chases away <01272> his mother <0517> is a son <01121> who brings shame <0954> and disgrace <02659>.
27If you stop <02308> listening <08085> to instruction <04148>, my child <01121>, you will stray <07686> from the words <0561> of knowledge <01847>.
28A crooked <01100> witness <05707> scorns <03887> justice <04941>, and the mouth <06310> of the wicked <07563> devours <01104> iniquity <0205>.
29Judgments <08201> are prepared <03559> for scorners <03887>, and floggings <04112> for the backs <01460> of fools <03684>.
