2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself.
3When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
4The words of a man's mouth are deep waters, and the fountain of wisdom is a gushing brook.
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to wrong the righteous in judgment.
6A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes.
7A fool's mouth is destruction to him, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8The words of a talebearer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9He also who is indolent in his work is brother of the destroyer.
10The name of Jehovah is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination.
12Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour goeth humility.
13He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him.
14The spirit of a man sustaineth his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?
15The heart of an intelligent man getteth knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
18The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
