14A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a present in the bosom, vehement fury.
15It is joy to a righteous man to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity.
16The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead.
17He that loveth mirth shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and a treacherous man in the stead of the upright.
19It is better to dwell in a desert land. than with a contentious and irritable woman.
20There is costly store and oil in the dwelling of a wise man; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
22A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24Proud, arrogant, scorner is his name who dealeth in proud wrath.
25The desire of the sluggard killeth him; for his hands refuse to work:
26He coveteth greedily all the day long; but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more when they bring it with a wicked purpose!
