4 -through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.
5 -A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge enhances his strength.
6 -Only with sound guidance should you wage war, and victory lies in a multitude of counselors.
7 -Wisdom is too high for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the meeting place.
8 -He who plots evil will be called a schemer.
9 -A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.
10 -If you faint in the day of distress, how small is your strength!
11 -Rescue those being led away to death, and restrain those stumbling toward the slaughter.
12 -If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?
13 -Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.
14 -Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.
15 -Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.
16 -For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.
17 -Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,
18 -or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.
19 -Do not fret over evildoers, and do not be envious of the wicked.
20 -For the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
21 -My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.
22 -For they will bring sudden destruction. Who knows what ruin they can bring?
23 -These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24 -Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”—peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;
25 -but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.
26 -An honest answer given is like a kiss on the lips.
27 -Complete your outdoor work and prepare your field; after that, you may build your house.
28 -Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
29 -Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”
30 -I went past the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking judgment.
31 -Thorns had grown up everywhere, thistles had covered the ground, and the stone wall was broken down.
32 -I observed and took it to heart; I looked and received instruction:
33 -A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
34 -and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
