5 It is not good to ¹be partial to^a the wicked or to ²deprive the righteous of justice.

6 A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites ³a beating.

7 ⁴A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

8 ⁵The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into ⁶the inner parts of the body.

9 Whoever is slack in his work is a ⁷brother to him who destroys.

10 ⁸The name of the LORD is ⁹a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and ¹⁰is safe.

11 ¹¹A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.

12 ¹²Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but ¹³humility comes before honor.

13 If one gives an answer ¹⁴before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but ¹⁵a crushed spirit who can bear?

15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 A man's ¹⁶gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.

17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

18 ¹⁷The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders.

19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.

20 ¹⁸From the fruit of a man's mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips.

21 ¹⁹Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

22 He who finds ²⁰a wife finds ²¹a good thing and ²²obtains favor ²³from the LORD.

23 The poor use entreaties, but ²⁴the rich answer roughly.

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but ²⁵there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
