17:27	He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
17:28	Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

18:1	Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
18:2	A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
18:3	When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
18:4	The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

18:19	A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.
18:20	A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
18:21	Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
18:22	Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
18:23	The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
18:24	A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

19:1	Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
19:2	Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

19:5	A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
19:6	Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
19:7	All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
19:8	He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
19:9	A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
19:10	Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
19:11	The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
19:12	The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
19:13	A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
19:14	House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
19:15	Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
19:16	He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
19:17	He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
19:18	Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19:19	A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
19:20	Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
19:21	There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
19:22	The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
19:23	The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
19:24	A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
19:25	Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
19:26	He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
19:27	Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
19:28	An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
19:29	Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

20:1	Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
20:2	The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
20:3	It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
20:4	The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
20:5	Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
20:6	Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
20:7	The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
20:8	A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
20:9	Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
20:10	Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
20:11	Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
20:12	The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
20:13	Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
