1 A wise son loves correction, but the senseless one heeds no rebuke.

2 From the fruit of his words a man eats good things, but the treacherous one craves violence.

3 He who guards his mouth protects his life; to open wide one's lips brings downfall.

4 The soul of the sluggard craves in vain, but the diligent soul is amply satisfied.

5 Anything deceitful the just man hates, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace.

6 Virtue guards one who walks honestly, but the downfall of the wicked is sin.

7 One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

8 A man's riches serve as ransom for his life, but the poor man heeds no rebuke.

9 The light of the just shines gaily, but the lamp of the wicked goes out.

10 The stupid man sows discord by his insolence, but with those who take counsel is wisdom.

11 Wealth quickly gotten dwindles away, but amassed little by little, it grows.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a wish fulfilled is a tree of life.

13 He who despises the word must pay for it, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.

14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that a man may avoid the snares of death.

15 Good sense brings favor, but the way of the faithless is their ruin.

16 The shrewd man does everything with prudence, but the fool peddles folly.

17 A wicked messenger brings on disaster, but a trustworthy envoy is a healing remedy.

18 Poverty and shame befall the man who disregards correction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.

19 Lust indulged starves the soul, but fools hate to turn from evil.

20 Walk with wise men and you will become wise, but the companion of fools will fare badly.

21 Misfortune pursues sinners, but the just shall be recompensed with good.

22 The good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the just.

23 A lawsuit devours the tillage of the poor, but some men perish for lack of a law court.

24 He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him takes care to chastise him.

25 When the just man eats, his hunger is appeased; but the belly of the wicked suffers want
