A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
[He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich [hath] many friends.
He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy [is] he.
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth [shall be] to them that devise good.
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury.
The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the foolishness of fools [is] folly.
A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful [witness] speaketh lies.
