1When thou wilt do good know to whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits. 2Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompence; and if not from him, yet from the most High. 3There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, nor…
1Wisdom lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men. 2Commend not a man for his beauty; neither abhor a man for his outward appearance. 3The bee is little among such as fly; but her fruit is the chief of sweet things. 4Boast not of…
1A wise judge will instruct his people; and the government of a prudent man is well ordered. 2As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they that dwell therein. 3An unwise king destroyeth his people; but through…
1Strive not with a mighty man’ lest thou fall into his hands. 2Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings. 3Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. 4Jest not with…
1Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself. 2Give not thy soul unto a woman to set her foot upon thy substance. 3Meet not with an harlot, lest thou fall into her snares. 4Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer,…

1Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for thereby thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue. 2Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull straying alone. 3Thou shalt eat…
1Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life. 2Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart: 3And say not, Who shall controul me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride. 4Say not, I have sinned, and…
1My son, defraud not the poor of his living, and make not the needy eyes to wait long. 2Make not an hungry soul sorrowful; neither provoke a man in his distress. 3Add not more trouble to an heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need. 4Reject not the…
1Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe. 2For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons. 3Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins: 4And he that honoureth his mother is as one…
