BibleText:
1 Wine [is] a boaster, strong drink [is] a trouble maker: and whoever is deceived by them is not wise. 2 The fear of a king [is] as the roaring of a lion: [whoever] provokes him to anger sins [against] his own soul. 3 [It is] a honor for a man to stop fighting: but any fool can start a quarrel. 4 The sluggard will not plough because of the cold; [therefore] he will beg in the harvest, and [have] nothing. 5 Counsel in the heart of a man [is like] deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. 6 Most people advertise their own kindness, but who can find someone who is trustworthy? 7 The just [man] walks in his integrity: his children [are] blessed after him. 8 A king that sits on the throne of judgement scatters away all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? 10 Different weights, [and] different measures, both of them [are] alike an abomination to the LORD [Yahweh]. 11 Even a child is known by his actions, whether his work [is] pure, and whether [it is] right. 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD [Yahweh] has made both of them. 13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, [and] you will be satisfied with bread. 14 [It is] worthless, [it is] worthless, says the buyer: but when he has gone his way, then he boasts. 15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge [are] a precious jewel. 16 Take the garment of one that is surety [for] a stranger: and take a pledge from him for a strange woman. 17 Bread [obtained] through deception [is] sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel. 18 [Every] purpose is established through counsel: and with good advice make war. 19 He that goes around [as] a talebearer reveals secrets: therefore do not associate with him that flatters with his lips. 20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in obscure darkness. 21 An inheritance [may be] obtained hastily at the beginning; but it will not be blessed at the end. 22 You must not say, I will repay evil; [but] wait on the LORD [Yahweh], and he will save you. 23 Different weights [are] an abomination to the LORD [Yahweh]; and a false balance [is] not good. 24 Man's directions [are] of the LORD [Yahweh]; how can a man then understand his own way? 25 [It is] a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly, and then consider the consequences afterwards. 26 A wise king scatters the wicked, and brings the [threshing] wheel over them. 27 The spirit of man [is] the candle of the LORD [Yahweh], searching all the rooms of the inward man. 28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upheld by mercy. 29 The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the grey head. 30 In the same way that a bruise purges away infection, blows given on the outside help to clean up the inward man.
