      | ¶ | Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh [and] intermeddleth with all wisdom. | |
| A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. | ||
| When the wicked cometh, [then] cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. | ||
| The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook. | ||
| [It is] not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. | ||
| A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. | ||
| A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul. | ||
| The words of a talebearer [are] as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. | ||
| He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. | ||
| The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. | ||
| The rich man's wealth [is] his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. | ||
| Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour [is] humility. | ||
| He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him. | ||
| The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? | ||
| The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. | ||
| A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. | ||
| [He that is] first in his own cause [seemeth] just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. | ||
 | The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. | ||
| A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle. | ||
| A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. | ||
| Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. | ||
| [Whoso] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the LORD. | ||
| The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. | ||
| A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother. |
