WineH3196 is a mockerH3887, strong drinkH7941 is ragingH1993: and whosoever is deceivedH7686 thereby is not wiseH2449.2The fearH367 of a kingH4428 is as the roaringH5099 of a lionH3715: whoso provoketh him to angerH5674 sinnethH2398 against his own soulH5315.3It is an honourH3519 for a manH376 to ceaseH7674 from strifeH7379: but every foolH191 will be meddlingH1566.4The sluggardH6102 will not plowH2790 by reason of the coldH2779; therefore shall he begH7592 H7592 in harvestH7105, and have nothing.5CounselH6098 in the heartH3820 of manH376 is like deepH6013 waterH4325; but a manH376 of understandingH8394 will draw it outH1802.6MostH7230 menH120 will proclaimH7121 every oneH376 his own goodnessH2617: but a faithfulH529 manH376 who can findH4672?7The justH6662 man walkethH1980 in his integrityH8537: his childrenH1121 are blessedH835 afterH310 him.8A kingH4428 that sitteth inH3427 the throneH3678 of judgmentH1779 scattereth awayH2219 all evilH7451 with his eyesH5869.9Who can sayH559, I have made my heartH3820 cleanH2135, I am pureH2891 from my sinH2403?10Divers weightsH68 H68, and divers measuresH374 H374, bothH8147 of them are alikeH1571 abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068.11Even a childH5288 is knownH5234 by his doingsH4611, whether his workH6467 be pureH2134, and whether it be rightH3477.12The hearingH8085 earH241, and the seeingH7200 eyeH5869, the LORDH3068 hath madeH6213 even bothH8147 of them.13LoveH157 not sleepH8142, lest thou come to povertyH3423; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and thou shalt be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.14It is naughtH7451, it is naughtH7451, saithH559 the buyerH7069: but when he is goneH235 his way, then he boastethH1984.15There isH3426 goldH2091, and a multitudeH7230 of rubiesH6443: but the lipsH8193 of knowledgeH1847 are a preciousH3366 jewelH3627.16TakeH3947 his garmentH899 that is suretyH6148 for a strangerH2114: and take a pledgeH2254 of him for a strange womanH5237.17BreadH3899 of deceitH8267 is sweetH6156 to a manH376; but afterwardsH310 his mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with gravelH2687.18Every purposeH4284 is establishedH3559 by counselH6098: and with good adviceH8458 makeH6213 warH4421.19He that goeth aboutH1980 as a talebearerH7400 revealethH1540 secretsH5475: therefore meddleH6148 not with him that flatterethH6601 with his lipsH8193.20Whoso cursethH7043 his fatherH1 or his motherH517, his lampH5216 shall be put outH1846 in obscureH380 H380 darknessH2822.21An inheritanceH5159 may be gotten hastilyH926 H973 at the beginningH7223; but the endH319 thereof shall not be blessedH1288.22SayH559 not thou, I will recompenseH7999 evilH7451; but wait onH6960 the LORDH3068, and he shall saveH3467 thee.23Divers weightsH68 H68 are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068; and a falseH4820 balanceH3976 is not goodH2896.24Man'sH1397 goingsH4703 are of the LORDH3068; how can a manH120 then understandH995 his own wayH1870?25It is a snareH4170 to the manH120 who devourethH3216 that which is holyH6944, and afterH310 vowsH5088 to make enquiryH1239.26A wiseH2450 kingH4428 scatterethH2219 the wickedH7563, and bringethH7725 the wheelH212 over them.27The spiritH5397 of manH120 is the candleH5216 of the LORDH3068, searchingH2664 all the inward partsH2315 of the bellyH990.28MercyH2617 and truthH571 preserveH5341 the kingH4428: and his throneH3678 is upholdenH5582 by mercyH2617.29The gloryH8597 of young menH970 is their strengthH3581: and the beautyH1926 of old menH2205 is the gray headH7872.30The bluenessH2250 of a woundH6482 cleansethH8562 away evilH7451: so do stripesH4347 the inward partsH2315 of the bellyH990.
