| | 1 | The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. | |
| | 2 | When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. | |
| | 3 | The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity. | |
| | 4 | Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. | |
| | 5 | The righteousness of the blameless makes a straight way for them, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness. | |
| | 6 | The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires. | |
| | 7 | When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing. | |
| | 8 | The righteous man is rescued from trouble, and it comes on the wicked instead. | |
| | 9 | With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape. | |
| | 10 | When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. | |
| | 11 | Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed. | |
| | 12 | A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue. | |
| | 13 | A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. | |
| | 14 | For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure. | |
| | 15 | He who puts up security for another will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe. | |
| | 16 | A kindhearted woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth. | |
| | 17 | A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself. | |
| | 18 | The wicked man earns deceptive wages, but he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. | |
| | 19 | The truly righteous man attains life, but he who pursues evil goes to his death. | |
| | 20 | The LORD detests men of perverse heart but he delights in those whose ways are blameless. | |
| | 21 | Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free. | |
| | 22 | Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. | |
| | 23 | The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath. | |
| | 24 | One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. | |
| | 25 | A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. | |
| | 26 | People curse the man who hoards grain, but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell. | |
| | 27 | He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it. | |
| | 28 | Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. | |
| | 29 | He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise. | |
| | 30 | The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. | |
| | 31 | If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner! | |
