| 1 | An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment. | Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. |
| 2 | A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion. | A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. |
| 3 | When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace. | 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 brook. | The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. |
| 5 | To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice. | It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. |
| 6 | A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings. | A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
| 7 | A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul. | A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. |
| 8 | The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts. | The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. |
| 9 | One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction. | He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. |
| 10 | Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe. | The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. |
| 11 | The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. | 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 proud, but before honor is humility. | Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. |
| 13 | He who gives answer before he hears, that is folly and shame to him. | He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. |
| 14 | A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear? | The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? |
| 15 | The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge. | The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. |
| 16 | A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. | A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. |
| 17 | He who pleads his cause first seems right; until another comes and questions him. | He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. |
| 18 | The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart. | The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. |
| 19 | A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city; and disputes are like the bars of a castle. | A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. |
| 20 | A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. | 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; those who love it will eat its fruit. | Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. |
| 22 | Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh. | Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord. |
| 23 | The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly. | The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. |
| 24 | A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. | A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. |
