4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.

5 ¹A faithful witness does not lie, but ²a false witness breathes out lies.

6 ³A scoffer seeks wisdom ⁴in vain, but ⁵knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.

7 Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.

9 ⁶Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.^a

10 The heart knows its own ⁷bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.

11 ⁸The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12 ⁹There is a way that seems right to a man, but ¹⁰its end is the way to death.^b

13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and ¹¹the end of joy may be ¹²grief.

14 The backslider in heart will be ¹³filled with the fruit of his ways, and ¹⁴a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.

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

16 ¹⁶One who is wise is cautious^c and ¹⁷turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.

17 A man of ¹⁸quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.

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

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

20 ²⁰The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, ²¹but the rich has many friends.

21 Whoever ²²despises his neighbor is a sinner, but ²³blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

22 Do they not go astray who ²⁴devise evil? Those who devise good meet^d²⁵steadfast love and faithfulness.

23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk ²⁶tends 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 ²⁷breathes out lies is deceitful.

26 In the fear of the LORD one has ²⁸strong confidence, and ²⁹his children will have ³⁰a refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is ³¹a fountain of life, that one may ³²turn away from the snares of death.

28 In ³³a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.

29 Whoever is ³⁴slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

30 A tranquil^e heart gives ³⁵life to the flesh, but ³⁶envy^f makes ³⁷the bones rot.

31 Whoever oppresses a poor man ³⁸insults his ³⁹Maker, ⁴⁰but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

32 ⁴¹The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but ⁴²the righteous finds refuge in his death.

33 Wisdom ⁴³rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.^g

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