| 1 | He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense. | Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. |
| 2 | A foolish man has no pleasure in good sense, but only to let what is in his heart come to light. | A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. |
| 3 | When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame. | When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. |
| 4 | The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters: the fountain of wisdom is like a flowing stream. | The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. |
| 5 | To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright. | It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. |
| 6 | A foolish man's lips are a cause of fighting, and his mouth makes him open to blows. | A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
| 7 | The mouth of a foolish man is his destruction, and his lips are a net for his soul. | A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. |
| 8 | The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, and go down into the inner parts of the stomach. | The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. |
| 9 | He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction. | He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. |
| 10 | The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe. | The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. |
| 11 | The property of a man of wealth is his strong town, and it is as a high wall in the thoughts of his heart. | The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. |
| 12 | Before destruction the heart of man is full of pride, and before honour goes a gentle spirit. | Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. |
| 13 | To give an answer before hearing is a foolish thing and a cause of shame. | He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. |
| 14 | The spirit of a man will be his support when he is ill; but how may a broken spirit be lifted up? | The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? |
| 15 | The heart of the man of good sense gets knowledge; the ear of the wise is searching for knowledge. | The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. |
| 16 | A man's offering makes room for him, letting him come before great men. | A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. |
| 17 | The man who first puts his cause before the judge seems to be in the right; but then his neighbour comes and puts his cause in its true light. | He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. |
| 18 | The decision of chance puts an end to argument, parting the strong. | The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. |
| 19 | A brother wounded is like a strong town, and violent acts are like a locked tower. | A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. |
| 20 | With the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach will be full; the produce of his lips will be his in full measure. | A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. |
| 21 | Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food. | Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. |
| 22 | Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord. | Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. |
| 23 | The poor man makes requests for grace, but the man of wealth gives a rough answer. | The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. |
| 24 | There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother. | A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. |
