Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; whoever is led astray by it will never be wise.
A king's terror is like the roar of a lion; whoever provokes him forfeits his life.
It is an honor to keep clear of strife, but every fool jumps in.
The sluggard will not plow because of the cold; at harvest he begs and there is nothing.
The purposes of the heart are deep water, but a person of understanding draws them up.
Many claim to be loyal, but who can find one who is truly faithful?
The righteous walk in their integrity; blessed are their children after them.
A king seated on the throne of judgment sifts out all evil with his eyes.
Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed of my sin"?
False weights and false measures—the LORD detests them both.
Even a child is known by what he does, whether his conduct is pure and upright.
The ear that hears and the eye that sees—the LORD has made them both.
Do not love sleep, or you will grow poor; keep your eyes open, and you will have bread to spare.
"Worthless, worthless," says the buyer—then he goes his way and brags about his bargain.
There is gold and an abundance of pearls, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare treasure.
Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold him in pledge when he stands surety for a foreign woman.
Bread gained by deceit tastes sweet, but it turns to gravel in the mouth.
Plans succeed through counsel; wage war with sound guidance.
A gossip betrays a confidence; keep away from anyone with loose lips.
Whoever curses his father or mother—his lamp will be snuffed out in deepest darkness.
An inheritance seized in haste will not be blessed in the end.
Do not say, "I will repay this evil." Wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you.
The LORD detests false weights, and dishonest scales are no good.
A person's steps come from the LORD; how then can anyone understand his own way?
It is a snare to declare something holy in haste and only later consider the vow.
A wise king winnows out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.
The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD, searching every inner chamber.
Steadfast love and faithfulness guard a king; by love his throne is made secure.
The glory of the young is their strength; the splendor of the old is gray hair.
Wounding blows scour away evil, and beatings reach the inmost being.
