My son, hast thou sinned? add no more thereto;

2 Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent;

3 All iniquity is as a two-edged sword;

4 Terror and violence will lay waste riches;

5 Supplication from a poor man’s mouth reacheth to the ears of God,

6 One that hateth reproof is in the path of the sinner;

7 He that is mighty in tongue is known afar off:

8 He that buildeth his house with other men’s money

9 The congregation of wicked men is as tow wrapped together;

10 The way of sinners is made smooth with stones;

11 He that keepeth the law becometh master of the intent thereof;

12 He that is not clever will not be instructed;

13 The knowledge of a wise man shall be made to abound as a flood;

14 The inward parts of a fool are like a broken vessel;

15 If a man of knowledge hear a wise word,

16 The discourse of a fool is like a burden in the way;

17 The mouth of the prudent man shall be sought for in the congregation;

18 As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool;

19 Instruction is as fetters on the feet of an unwise man,

20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter;

21 Instruction is to a prudent man as an ornament of gold,

22 The foot of a fool is soon in another man’s house;

23 A foolish man peepeth in from the door of another man’s house;

24 It is a want of instruction in a man to listen at the door;

25 The lips of strangers will be grieved at these things;

26 The heart of fools is in their mouth;

27 When the ungodly curseth Satan,

28 A whisperer defileth his own soul,
