2.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but [he that is] perverse in his ways despiseth him.

3.

In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4.

Where no oxen [are], the crib [is] clean: but much increase [is] by the strength of the ox.

5.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

6.

A scorner seeketh wisdom, and [findeth it] not: but knowledge [is] easy unto him that understandeth.

7.

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not [in him] the lips of knowledge.

8.

The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way: but the folly of fools [is] deceit.

9.

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous [there is] favour.

10.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man [shall be satisfied] from himself.

15.

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent [man] looketh well to his going.

16.

A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

17.

[He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

18.

The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19.

The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20.

The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich [hath] many friends.

21.

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy [is] he.

22.

Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth [shall be] to them that devise good.

23.

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury.

24.

The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the foolishness of fools [is] folly.

25.

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful [witness] speaketh lies.

26.

In the fear of the LORD [is] strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

28.

In the multitude of people [is] the king's honour: but in the want of people [is] the destruction of the prince.

29.

[He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding: but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

30.

A sound heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

33.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but [that which is] in the midst of fools is made known.

34.

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people.
