18 ⁴A hot-tempered man ⁵stirs up strife, but he who is ⁶slow to anger quiets contention.

19 The way of ⁷a sluggard is like a hedge of ⁸thorns, but the path of the upright is ⁹a level highway.

20 ¹⁰A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

21 ¹¹Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, but a man of understanding ¹²walks straight ahead.

22 ¹³Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.

23 To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and ¹⁴a word in season, how good it is!

24 The path of life leads upward ¹⁵for the prudent, that he may turn away from Sheol beneath.

25 The LORD tears down the house of ¹⁶the proud but ¹⁷maintains ¹⁸the widow's boundaries.

26 ¹⁹The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but ²⁰gracious words are pure.

27 Whoever is ²¹greedy for unjust gain ²²troubles his own household, but he who hates ²³bribes will live.

28 The heart of the righteous ²⁴ponders how to answer, but ²⁵the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

29 The LORD is ²⁶far from the wicked, but he ²⁷hears the prayer of the righteous.

30 ²⁸The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and ²⁹good news refreshes^a the bones.

31 ³⁰The ear that listens to ³¹life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.

32 Whoever ³²ignores instruction ³³despises himself, but he who listens to reproof ³⁴gains intelligence.

33 ³⁵The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and ³⁶humility comes before honor.
