Desire without knowledge is not good- how much more will hasty feet miss the way.
A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the Lord.
Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
Many curry favor with a ruler and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
Houses and wealth are inherited from parents; but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.
Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death.
A hot tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them and you will have to do it again.
Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
Many are the plans in a person’s heart , but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar.
The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rest content, untouched by trouble.
A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
Flog a mocker and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
