1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.¶ 2It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; 3The foolishness of man subverts his way; 4Wealth adds many friends, 5A false witness shall not be unpunished. 6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, 7All the relatives of the poor shun him: 8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. 9A false witness shall not be unpunished. 10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, 11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. 12The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, 13A foolish son is the calamity of his father. 14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, 15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. 16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, 17He who has pity on the poor lends to JEHOVAH; 18Discipline your son, for there is hope; 19A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, 20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, 21There are many plans in a man's heart, 22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. 23The fear of JEHOVAH leads to life, then contentment; 24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; 25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; 26He who robs his father and drives away his mother, 27If you stop listening to instruction, my son, 28A corrupt witness mocks justice, 29Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
