3It is a glory to a man to turn aside from railing; But every fool is entangled with such matters.
4A sluggard when reproached is not ashamed: So also he who borrows corn in harvest.
5Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water; But a prudent man will draw it out.
6A man is valuable, and a merciful man precious: But it is hard to find a faithful man.
7He that walks blameless in justice, Shall leave his children blessed.
8Whenever a righteous king sits on the throne, No evil thing can stand before his presence.
9Who will boast that he has a pure heart? Or who will boldly say that he is pure from sins?
9aThe lamp of him that reviles father or mother shall be put out, And his eyeballs shall see darkness.
9bA portion hastily gotten at first Shall not be blessed in the end.
9cSay not, I will avenge myself on my enemy; But wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.
10A large and small weight, and diverse measures, Are even both of them unclean before the Lord; And so is he that makes them.
11A youth when in company with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, And then his way will be straight.
12The ear hears, and the eye sees: Even both of them are the Lord’s work.
