3 It is an honor for a person to cease from strife, but every fool quarrels.
4 The sluggard will not plow during the planting season, so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.
5 Counsel in a person's heart is like deep water, but an understanding person draws it out.
6 Many people profess their loyalty, but a faithful person� who can find?
7 The righteous person behaves in integrity; blessed are his children after him.
8 A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, "I have kept my heart clean; I am pure from my sin"?
10 Diverse weights and diverse measures� the LORD abhors both of them.
11 Even a young man is known by his actions, whether his activity is pure and whether it is right.

20 The one who curses his father and his mother, his lamp will be extinguished in the blackest darkness.
21 An inheritance gained easily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.
22 Do not say, "I will pay back evil!" Wait for the LORD, so that he may vindicate you.
23 The LORD abhors differing weights, and dishonest scales are wicked.
24 The steps of a person are ordained by the LORD� so how can anyone understand his own way?
25 It is a snare for a person to rashly cry, "Holy!" and only afterward to consider what he has vowed.

29 The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is gray hair.
30 Beatings and wounds cleanse away evil, and floggings cleanse the innermost being.

2 The fear H367 of a king H4428 is as the roaring H5099 of a lion: H3715 whoso provoketh him to anger H5674 sinneth H2398 against his own soul. H5315
3 It is an honor H3519 for a man H376 to cease H7674 from strife H4480 H7379 : but every H3605 fool H191 will be meddling. H1566
4 The sluggard H6102 will not H3808 plow H2790 by reason of the cold H4480 H2779 ; therefore shall he beg H7592 in harvest, H7105 and have nothing. H369
5 Counsel H6098 in the heart H3820 of man H376 is like deep H6013 water; H4325 but a man H376 of understanding H8394 will draw it out. H1802
6 Most H7230 men H120 will proclaim H7121 every one H376 his own goodness: H2617 but a faithful H529 man H376 who H4310 can find H4672 ?
7 The just H6662 man walketh H1980 in his integrity: H8537 his children H1121 are blessed H835 after H310 him.
8 A king H4428 that sitteth H3427 in H5921 the throne H3678 of judgment H1779 scattereth away H2219 all H3605 evil H7451 with his eyes. H5869
9 Who H4310 can say, H559 I have made my heart H3820 clean, H2135 I am pure H2891 from my sin H4480 H2403 ?
10 Divers weights H68 H68 , and divers measures H374 H374 , both H8147 of them are alike H1571 abomination H8441 to the LORD. H3068
11 Even H1571 a child H5288 is known H5234 by his doings, H4611 whether H518 his work H6467 be pure, H2134 and whether H518 it be right. H3477

14 It is naught, H7451 it is naught, H7451 saith H559 the buyer: H7069 but when he is gone his way, H235 then H227 he boasteth. H1984
15 There is H3426 gold, H2091 and a multitude H7230 of rubies: H6443 but the lips H8193 of knowledge H1847 are a precious H3366 jewel. H3627
16 Take H3947 his garment H899 that H3588 is surety H6148 for a stranger: H2114 and take a pledge H2254 of him for H1157 a strange woman. H5237
17 Bread H3899 of deceit H8267 is sweet H6156 to a man; H376 but afterwards H310 his mouth H6310 shall be filled H4390 with gravel. H2687
18 Every purpose H4284 is established H3559 by counsel: H6098 and with good advice H8458 make H6213 war. H4421
19 He that goeth about H1980 as a talebearer H7400 revealeth H1540 secrets: H5475 therefore meddle H6148 not H3808 with him that flattereth H6601 with his lips. H8193
20 Whoso curseth H7043 his father H1 or his mother, H517 his lamp H5216 shall be put out H1846 in obscure H380 darkness. H2822
21 An inheritance H5159 may be gotten hastily H926 at the beginning; H7223 but the end H319 thereof shall not H3808 be blessed. H1288
22 Say H559 not H408 thou , I will recompense H7999 evil; H7451 but wait H6960 on the LORD, H3068 and he shall save H3467 thee.
23 Divers weights H68 H68 are an abomination H8441 unto the LORD; H3068 and a false H4820 balance H3976 is not H3808 good. H2896
24 Man H1397 's goings H4703 are of the LORD H4480 H3068 ; how H4100 can a man H120 then understand H995 his own way H1870 ?
