8Better to have just a little and be honest than to have a lot and be dishonest.
9You can plan in your mind what to do, but the Lord will guide you.
10The king is inspired in what he says; he is not unreliable in his decisions.
11Accurate scales and balances are important to the Lord. He has determined all the weights in the bag.
12It's a terrible thing for a king to do evil, for his throne is based on doing right.
13People who tell the truth please kings; they love those who say what is right.
14An angry king can put you to death. If you're wise you'll try and calm him down.
15If the king is smiling, you'll live; his blessing is like the clouds that bring spring rain.
16Far better to get wisdom than gold; far better to choose knowledge than silver.
17The highway of the good leads away from evil. If you watch where you're going you'll save your life.
18Pride leads to destruction; and an arrogant spirit leads to a fall.
19Better to have a humble spirit and live with the poor than to share plunder with the proud.
20If you pay attention to wise instruction you will do well; you'll be happy if you trust in the Lord.
21If you think wisely you'll be called perceptive; if you speak pleasantly you'll be persuasive.
22If you have good sense it will be a fountain of life to you, but stupid people are punished by their stupidity.
23A wise mind makes sure to say sensible things; the words spoken are persuasive.
