A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

6

Children's children [are] the crown of old men; and the glory of children [are] their fathers.

A gift [is as] a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

9

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth [very] friends.

12

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

13

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

14

The beginning of strife [is as] when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

15

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.

16

Wherefore [is there] a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he hath] no heart [to it]?

17

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18

A man void of understanding striketh hands, [and] becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: [and] he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

21

He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

22

A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23

A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

24

Wisdom [is] before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool [are] in the ends of the earth.

25

A foolish son [is] a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

26

Also to punish the just [is] not good, [nor] to strike princes for equity.

27

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: [and] a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding.
