A prudent wife is from the Lord—He that lendeth to the poor lendeth to the Lord—A poor man is better than a liar.

 BETTER is the ^apoor^• that walketh in his ^bintegrity^•, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

 Also, that the soul be without ^aknowledge^•, it is not good; and he that ^bhasteth with his feet sinneth.

 The ^afoolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

 Wealth maketh many ^afriends^•; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

 A false ^awitness^• shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh ^blies shall not escape.

 Many will intreat the ^afavour^• of the prince: and every man is a ^bfriend^• to him that giveth gifts.

 All the brethren of the ^apoor^• do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth ^aunderstanding shall find good.

 A false witness shall not be ^aunpunished, and he that speaketh ^blies^• shall perish.

 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a ^aservant^• to have rule over princes.

 The ^adiscretion of a man deferreth his ^banger; and it is his ^cglory to pass over a ^dtransgression.

 The king’s wrath is as the ^aroaring^• of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

 A foolish son is the calamity of his ^afather: and the contentions of a ^bwife^• are a ^ccontinual^• dropping.

 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a ^aprudent wife is from the LORD.

 ^aSlothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an ^bidle soul shall suffer hunger.

 He that ^akeepeth^• the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

 He that hath ^apity upon the ^bpoor^• lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

 ^aChasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

 A man of great ^awrath^• shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

 Hear counsel, and receive ^ainstruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

 There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the ^acounsel^• of the LORD, that shall stand.

 The desire of a man is his ^akindness: and a poor man is better than a ^bliar.

 The ^afear of the LORD tendeth to ^blife^•: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

 A ^aslothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

 Smite a ^ascorner^•, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

 He that wasteth his ^afather^•, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

 Cease, my son, to ^ahear^• the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and ^astripes^• for the back of fools.
