1 A gentle answer turns away rage,
2 The tongues of wise people give good expression to knowledge,
3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere.
4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
5 A stubborn fool despises his father’s discipline,
6 Great treasure is in the house of a righteous person,
7 The lips of wise people spread knowledge,
8 A sacrifice brought by wicked people is disgusting to the Lord,
9 The way of wicked people is disgusting to the Lord,
10 Discipline is a terrible ⌞burden⌟ to anyone who leaves the ⌞right⌟ path.
11 If Sheol and Abaddon lie open in front of the Lord
12 A mocker does not appreciate a warning.
13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
14 The mind of a person who has understanding searches for knowledge,
15 Every day is a terrible day for a miserable person,
16 Better to have a little with the fear of the Lord
17 Better to have a dish of vegetables where there is love
18 A hothead stirs up a fight,
19 The path of lazy people is like a thorny hedge,
20 A wise son makes his father happy,
21 Stupidity is fun to the one without much sense,
22 Without advice plans go wrong,
23 A person is delighted to hear an answer from his own mouth,
24 The path of life for a wise person leads upward
25 The Lord tears down the house of an arrogant person,
26 The thoughts of evil people are disgusting to the Lord,
27 Whoever is greedy for unjust gain brings trouble to his family,
28 The heart of a righteous person carefully considers how to answer,
29 The Lord is far from wicked people,
30 A twinkle in the eye delights the heart.
31 The ear that listens to a life-giving warning
32 Whoever ignores discipline despises himself,
33 The fear of the Lord is discipline ⌞leading to⌟ wisdom,
