¹ Better ^H2896 is a dry ^H2720 morsel, ^H6595 and quietness ^H7962 therewith, than an house ^H1004 full ^H4392 of sacrifices ^H2077 with strife. ^H7379

² A wise ^H7919 servant ^H5650 shall have rule ^H4910 over a son ^H1121 that causeth shame, ^H954 and shall have part ^H2505 of the inheritance ^H5159 among ^H8432 the brethren. ^H251

³ The fining pot ^H4715 is for silver, ^H3701 and the furnace ^H3564 for gold: ^H2091 but the LORD ^H3068 trieth ^H974 the hearts. ^H3826

⁴ A wicked doer ^H7489 giveth heed ^H7181 to false ^H205 lips; ^H8193 and a liar ^H8267 giveth ear ^H238 to a naughty ^H1942 tongue. ^H3956

⁵ Whoso mocketh ^H3932 the poor ^H7326 reproacheth ^H2778 his Maker: ^H6213 and he that is glad ^H8056 at calamities ^H343 shall not be unpunished. ^H5352

⁶ Children's ^H1121 children ^H1121 are the crown ^H5850 of old men; ^H2205 and the glory ^H8597 of children ^H1121 are their fathers. ^H1

⁷ Excellent ^H3499 speech ^H8193 becometh ^H5000 not a fool: ^H5036 much less do lying ^H8267 lips ^H8193 a prince. ^H5081

⁸ A gift ^H7810 is as a precious ^H2580 stone ^H68 in the eyes ^H5869 of him that hath ^H1167 it: whithersoever it turneth, ^H6437 it prospereth. ^H7919

⁹ He that covereth ^H3680 a transgression ^H6588 seeketh ^H1245 love; ^H160 but he that repeateth ^H8138 a matter ^H1697 separateth ^H6504 very friends. ^H441

¹⁰ A reproof ^H1606 entereth ^H5181 more into a wise man ^H995 than an hundred ^H3967 stripes ^H5221 into a fool. ^H3684

¹¹ An evil ^H7451 man seeketh ^H1245 only rebellion: ^H4805 therefore a cruel ^H394 messenger ^H4397 shall be sent ^H7971 against him.

¹² Let a bear ^H1677 robbed ^H7909 of her whelps meet ^H6298 a man, ^H376 rather than ^H408 a fool ^H3684 in his folly. ^H200

¹³ Whoso rewardeth ^H7725 evil ^H7451 for good, ^H2896 evil ^H7451 shall not depart ^{H4185 H4185} from his house. ^H1004

¹⁴ The beginning ^H7225 of strife ^H4066 is as when one letteth out ^H6362 water: ^H4325 therefore leave off ^H5203 contention, ^H7379 before ^H6440 it be meddled ^H1566 with.

¹⁵ He that justifieth ^H6663 the wicked, ^H7563 and he that condemneth ^H7561 the just, ^H6662 even they both ^H8147 are abomination ^H8441 to the LORD. ^H3068

¹⁶ Wherefore is there a price ^H4242 in the hand ^H3027 of a fool ^H3684 to get ^H7069 wisdom, ^H2451 seeing he hath no heart ^H3820 to it?

¹⁷ A friend ^H7453 loveth ^H157 at all times, ^H6256 and a brother ^H251 is born ^H3205 for adversity. ^H6869

¹⁸ A man ^H120 void ^H2638 of understanding ^H3820 striketh ^H8628 hands, ^H3709 and becometh ^H6148 surety ^H6161 in the presence ^H6440 of his friend. ^H7453

¹⁹ He loveth ^H157 transgression ^H6588 that loveth ^H157 strife: ^H4683 and he that exalteth ^H1361 his gate ^H6607 seeketh ^H1245 destruction. ^H7667

²⁰ He that hath a froward ^H6141 heart ^H3820 findeth ^H4672 no good: ^H2896 and he that hath a perverse ^H2015 tongue ^H3956 falleth ^H5307 into mischief. ^H7451

²¹ He that begetteth ^H3205 a fool ^H3684 doeth it to his sorrow: ^H8424 and the father ^H1 of a fool ^H5036 hath no joy. ^H8055

²² A merry ^H8056 heart ^H3820 doeth good ^H3190 like a medicine: ^H1456 but a broken ^H5218 spirit ^H7307 drieth ^H3001 the bones. ^H1634

²³ A wicked ^H7563 man taketh ^H3947 a gift ^H7810 out of the bosom ^H2436 to pervert ^H5186 the ways ^H734 of judgment. ^H4941

²⁴ Wisdom ^H2451 is before him that hath understanding; ^{H6440 H995} but the eyes ^H5869 of a fool ^H3684 are in the ends ^H7097 of the earth. ^H776

²⁵ A foolish ^H3684 son ^H1121 is a grief ^H3708 to his father, ^H1 and bitterness ^H4470 to her that bare ^H3205 him.

²⁶ Also to punish ^H6064 the just ^H6662 is not good, ^H2896 nor to strike ^H5221 princes ^H5081 for equity. ^H3476

²⁷ He that hath ^H3045 knowledge ^H1847 spareth ^H2820 his words: ^H561 and a man ^H376 of understanding ^H8394 is of an excellent ^{H3368 H7119} spirit. ^H7307

²⁸ Even a fool, ^H191 when he holdeth his peace, ^H2790 is counted ^H2803 wise: ^H2450 and he that shutteth ^H331 his lips ^H8193 is esteemed a man of understanding. ^H995
