2 A rebel doesn’t care about the facts. All he wants to
do is yell.
3 Sin brings disgrace.
4 A wise man’s words express deep streams of thought.
5 It is wrong for a judge to favor the wicked and condemn
the innocent.
6,7 A fool gets into constant fights. His mouth is his
undoing! His words endanger him.
8 What dainty morsels rumors are. They are eaten with
great relish!
9 A lazy man is brother to the saboteur.
10 The Lord is a strong fortress. The godly run to him and are safe.
11 The rich man thinks of his wealth as an impregnable
defense, a high wall of safety. What a dreamer!
12 Pride ends in destruction; humility ends in honor.
13 What a shame – yes, how stupid! – to decide before
knowing the facts!
14 A man’s courage can sustain his broken body but when
courage dies, what hope is left?
15 The intelligent man is always open to new ideas. In
fact, he looks for them.
16 A bribe does wonders; it will bring you before men of
importance!
17 Any story sounds true until someone tells the other
side and sets the record straight.
18 A coin toss ends arguments and settles disputes
between powerful opponents.
19 It is harder to win back the friendship of an offended
brother than to capture a fortified city. His anger shuts you out like iron
bars.
20 Ability to give wise advice satisfies like a good
meal!
21 Those who love to talk will suffer the consequences.
Men have died for saying the wrong thing!
22 The man who finds a wife finds a good thing; she is a
blessing to him from The Lord.
23 The poor man pleads and the rich man answers with
insults.
24 There are “friends” who pretend to be friends but
there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
