- It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows. - Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord weighs the hearts. - To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - He who follows righteousness and mercy
Finds life, righteousness, and honor. - He covets greedily all day long,
But the righteous gives and does not spare. - A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold. - By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life. - Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it. - The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender. - Do not overwork to be rich;
Because of your own understanding, cease! - Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. - My son, if your heart is wise,
My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself. - The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who begets a wise child will delight in him. - So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;
If you have found it, there is a prospect,
And your hope will not be cut off. - Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls. - Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. - A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are punished. - As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. - As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man. - One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination. - He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. - A fool vents all his feelings,
But a wise man holds them back. - A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor. - The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. - Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
