16 ¹One who is wise is cautious^a and ²turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.

17 A man of ³quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.

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

19 ⁴The evil bow down before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 ⁵The poor is disliked even by his neighbor, ⁶but the rich has many friends.

21 Whoever ⁷despises his neighbor is a sinner, but ⁸blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

22 Do they not go astray who ⁹devise evil? Those who devise good meet^b¹⁰steadfast love and faithfulness.

23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk ¹¹tends 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 ¹²breathes out lies is deceitful.

26 In the fear of the LORD one has ¹³strong confidence, and ¹⁴his children will have ¹⁵a refuge.

27 The fear of the LORD is ¹⁶a fountain of life, that one may ¹⁷turn away from the snares of death.

28 In ¹⁸a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined.

29 Whoever is ¹⁹slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

30 A tranquil^c heart gives ²⁰life to the flesh, but ²¹envy^d makes ²²the bones rot.

31 Whoever oppresses a poor man ²³insults his ²⁴Maker, ²⁵but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

32 ²⁶The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but ²⁷the righteous finds refuge in his death.

33 Wisdom ²⁸rests in the heart of a man of understanding, but it makes itself known even in the midst of fools.^e

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

35 A servant who deals wisely has ²⁹the king's favor, but his wrath falls on one who acts shamefully.
