12 ¹There is a way that seems right to a man, but ²its end is the way to death.^a

13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and ³the end of joy may be ⁴grief.

14 The backslider in heart will be ⁵filled with the fruit of his ways, and ⁶a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.

15 ⁷The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.

16 ⁸One who is wise is cautious^b and ⁹turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.

17 A man of ¹⁰quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.

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

19 ¹¹The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 ¹²The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, ¹³but the rich has many friends.

21 Whoever ¹⁴despises his neighbor is a sinner, but ¹⁵blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

22 Do they not go astray who ¹⁶devise evil? Those who devise good meet^c¹⁷steadfast love and faithfulness.

23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk ¹⁸tends only to poverty.

24 The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the folly of fools brings folly.

25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who ¹⁹breathes out lies is deceitful.

26 In the fear of the LORD one has ²⁰strong confidence, and ²¹his children will have ²²a refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is ²³a fountain of life, that one may ²⁴turn away from the snares of death.

28 In ²⁵a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.

29 Whoever is ²⁶slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

30 A tranquil^d heart gives ²⁷life to the flesh, but ²⁸envy^e makes ²⁹the bones rot.

31 Whoever oppresses a poor man ³⁰insults his ³¹Maker, ³²but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

32 ³³The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but ³⁴the righteous finds refuge in his death.

33 Wisdom ³⁵rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.^f

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.

35 A servant who deals wisely has ³⁶the king's favor, but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.
