| 14 | The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it. | The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it. |
| 15 | In the light of the king's face there is life; and his approval is like a cloud of spring rain. | In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. |
| 16 | How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver. | How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! |
| 17 | The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul. | The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. |
| 18 | Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall. | Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. |
| 19 | Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride. | Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. |
| 20 | He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy. | He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. |
| 21 | The wise-hearted will be named men of good sense: and by pleasing words learning is increased. | The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. |
| 22 | Wisdom is a fountain of life to him who has it; but the punishment of the foolish is their foolish behaviour. | Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. |
| 23 | The heart of the wise man is the teacher of his mouth, and gives increased learning to his lips. | The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. |
| 24 | Pleasing words are like honey, sweet to the soul and new life to the bones. | Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. |
| 25 | There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death. | There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. |
| 26 | The desire of the working man is working for him, for his need of food is driving him on. | He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. |
| 27 | A good-for-nothing man is a designer of evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire. | An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. |
| 28 | A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere: and he who says evil secretly makes trouble between friends. | A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. |
| 29 | A violent man puts desire of evil into his neighbour's mind, and makes him go in a way which is not good. | A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. |

| 31 | The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness. | The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. |
| 32 | He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town. | He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. |
| 33 | A thing may be put to the decision of chance, but it comes about through the Lord. | The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. |
