<br />
<br />
<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, and snarlest against all sound wisdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may lay itself bare.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of wisdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> It is not good to respect the person of the wicked, so as to turn aside the righteous in judgment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. <br />
<br />
<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> Even one that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> The name of HaShem is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is set up on high.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="12"/><sup>12</sup> Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="13"/><sup>13</sup> He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and confusion unto him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="14"/><sup>14</sup> The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="15"/><sup>15</sup> The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="16"/><sup>16</sup> A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="17"/><sup>17</sup> He that pleadeth his cause first seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="18"/><sup>18</sup> The lot causeth strife to cease, and parteth asunder the contentious.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="19"/><sup>19</sup> A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city; and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="20"/><sup>20</sup> A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="21"/><sup>21</sup> Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="22"/><sup>22</sup> Whoso findeth a wife findeth a great good, and obtaineth favour of HaShem.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="23"/><sup>23</sup> The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth impudently.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="24"/><sup>24</sup> There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. <br />
