A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall not escape.
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that giveth gifts.
All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth [them with] words, [yet] they [are] wanting [to him].
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall perish.
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and [it is] his glory to pass over a transgression.
The king's wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but his favour [is] as dew upon the grass.
A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD.
