1 设筵满屋,大家相争,不如有块干饼,大家相安。
2 仆人办事聪明,必管辖贻羞之子,又在众子中,同分产业。
3 鼎为炼银,炉为炼金。惟有耶和华熬炼人心。
4 行恶的留心听奸诈之言。说谎的侧耳听邪恶之语。
5 戏笑穷人的,是辱没造他的主。幸灾乐祸的,必不免受罚。
6 子孙为老人的冠冕。父亲是儿女的荣耀。
7 愚顽人说美言本不相宜,何况君王说谎话呢?
8 贿赂在馈送的人眼中,看为宝玉。随处运动,都得顺利。
9 遮掩人过的,寻求人爱。屡次挑错的,离间密友。
10 一句责备话,深入聪明人的心,强如责打愚昧人一百下。
11 恶人只寻背叛,所以必有严厉的使者,奉差攻击他。
12 宁可遇见丢崽子的母熊,不可遇见正行愚妄的愚昧人。
13 以恶报善的,祸患必不离他的家。
14 分争的起头,如水放开。所以在争闹之先,必当止息争竞。
15 定恶人为义的,定义人为恶的,这都为耶和华所憎恶。
16 愚昧人既无聪明,为何手拿价银买智慧呢?
17 朋友乃时常亲爱。弟兄为患难而生。
18 在邻舍面前击掌作保,乃是无知的人。
19 喜爱争竞的,是喜爱过犯。高立家门的,乃自取败坏。
20 心存邪僻的,寻不着好处。舌弄是非的,陷在祸患中。
21 生愚昧子的,必自愁苦。愚顽人的父,毫无喜乐。
22 喜乐的心,乃是良药。忧伤的灵,使骨枯干。
23 恶人暗中受贿赂,为要颠倒判断。
24 明哲人眼前有智慧。愚昧人眼望地极。
25 愚昧子使父亲愁烦,使母亲忧苦。
26 刑罚义人为不善。责打君子为不义。
27 寡少言语的有知识。性情温良的有聪明。
28 愚昧人若静默不言,也可算为智慧。闭口不说,也可算为聪明。

17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
17:14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
