1
Wine is an intemperate thing, and strong drink full of violence: But every fool is entangled with them.
2
The threat of a king differs not from the rage of a lion; And he that provokes him sins against his own soul.
3
It is a glory to a man to turn aside from railing; But every fool is entangled with such matters.
4
A sluggard when reproached is not ashamed: So also he who borrows corn in harvest.
5
Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water; But a prudent man will draw it out.
6
A man is valuable, and a merciful man precious: But it is hard to find a faithful man.
7
He that walks blameless in justice, Shall leave his children blessed.
8
Whenever a righteous king sits on the throne, No evil thing can stand before his presence.
9
Who will boast that he has a pure heart? Or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins? And his eyeballs shall see darkness. Shall not be blessed in the end. But wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.
10
Are even both of them unclean before the Lord; And so is he that makes them.
11
when in company with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, And then his way will be straight.
12
Even both of them are the Lord’s work.
13
Open thine eyes, and be filled with bread.
23
And a deceitful balance is not good in his sight.
24
How then can a mortal understand his ways?
25
For in that case repentance comes after vowing.
26
And will bring a wheel upon them.
27
Who searches the inmost parts of the belly.
28
And will surround his throne with righteousness.
29
And gray hairs are the glory of old men.
30
And plagues shall come into the inward parts of their belly.
