    whoso hearkeneth to God shall dwell safely 
    knowledge to be sought as a hidden treasure

    light of law keeps from evil paths 
    adultery is like taking fire into bosom 
    don't condemn slipping to steal for food 
    no gifts will pacify jealousy 
    harlot with subtil heart lieth in wait 
    harlot tells client she has paid her vows 
    harlot describes her love nest 
    young man seduced by harlot's flattery 
    slaughtered as ox with dart thru liver 
    do not decline to harlots hell path 
    receive wise counsel in preference to silver 
    if valued more highly than knowledge 
    God leads in the way of righteousness 
    substance and treasures for lovers of God 
    David was with God before earth was made 
    wisdom abode with God in pre-creation 
    death awaiteth those who sin against God 
    bread served mixed with drink 
    forsake the foolish and live 
    don't provoke a scorner to anger 
    years increased by fearing the Lord 
    harlot beckons to pedestrians 
    sweet, secret, stolen delicacies 
    harlot's guests are in depths of hell 
    ill-gotten treasures profit nothing 
    dealing with a slack hand leads to poverty 
    it's shameful to sleep through the havest 
    the name of the wicked shall rot 
    rod is for the back of a fool 
    a fool hides hatred with lying lips 
    tongue of the just is like choice silver 
    fear of the wicked shall come upon them 
    ill results of employing a sluggard 
    gladness is the hope of the righteous 
    just weights & measures for computing price     
    riches profit not in the day of wrath 
    faithful spirits conceal secrets 
    he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh 
    pursue evil and bring on your own demise 
    discretionless woman like swine with gold 
    unliberal corn withholding brings censure 
    root of the righteous shall not be moved 
    wicked show not kindness to animals 
    slothful man hunts for fun not substance 
    soul of transgressors shall eat violence 
    soul of the diligent shall be made fat 
    God's righteous people hateth lying 
    the lamp of the wicked shall be put out 
    hope deferred maketh the heart sick 
    he that feareth God shall be rewarded 
    companions of fools shall be destroyed 
    to the righteous good shall be repaid 
    inheritance passed to grandchildren 
    chasten son with loving beating 
    rod of pride in foolish mouth brags, lies 
    learn to identify fools, and flee from them 
    confident fool rageth, clinging to evil 
    a soft answer turneth away wrath 
    a perverse tongue breacheth the spirit 
    in the revenues of the wicked is trouble 
    mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness 
    appease strife with slowness to anger 
    way of slothful is hedge of thorns 
    as opposed to plain way of righteous 
    Folly is joy to the unwise 
    purposes are disappointed without counsel 
    I, God will destroy borders of the proud 
    I will establish borders of widow's house 
    greediness bringeth down trouble 
    God is far from worldly power elite 
    ways of a man are clean in his own eyes 
    the fall of a haughty prideful spirit 
    the proud divvy up their spoils 
    the ungodly man diggeth up evil 
    lips on fire with juicy gossip 
    virtues of a dry morsel and quietness 
    the Lord refineth hearts like gold 
    liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue 
    reproof to wise vs. fool's 100 stripes 
    the father of a fool hath no joy 
    not good to strike princes for equity 
    sloth and wastefulness go hand in hand 
    righteous repair to God's safe tower 
    the lot causeth contentions to cease 
    tongue holds power of life and death 
    poor fool is better than a lying fool 
    liars shall not escape unpunished 
    everyone is a gift-giver's friend 
    he that speaketh lies shall perish 
    fear of the Lord tendeth to life 
    doing alcohol leads to violent behavior 
    most men will proclaim their own goodness 
    even a child is known for right works 
    open thine eyes and obtain bread 
    buyers pretend not to see value, then brag 
    not wise to make war without good counsel 
    spirit candle illuminates stomach lining 
    the beauty of old men is the gray head 
    danger of getting treasures by lying 
    wicked robbers to be destroyed 
    a brawling woman is hard to live with 
    consequence for ignoring cries of poor 
    a gift in secret pacifieth anger 
    no, a whole congregation of the dead 
    safety is of the Lord 
    old will return to training of youth 
    blessings for bountiful charity 
    the lazy dream up far-fetched excuses 
    any excuse to get out of a little work! 
    strange woman's mouth is a deep pit 
    oppressors of poor shall come to wan 
    rod of correction cureth foolishness 
    avoid company of angry, furious men 
    riches grow wings and fly away 
    speak not in the ears of a fool 
    beating kids saves them from hell 
    winebibbing, riotous eating decried 
    be not among riotous flesh eaters 
    father and mother rejoice in wise child 
    mixed drinks cause redness of eyes 
    overdosing on wine will bite you 
    make war by multitude of wise counsellers 
    don't lie about not saving someone 
    do not spoil dwellings of the righteous 
    rejoice not at an enemies misfortune 
    candle of the wicked shall be put out 
    be wary of those who want change 
    build house only after harvest is assured 
    consequences of slothful neglect 
    take away the dross from the silver 
    put not forth thyself to the king 
    prince saith "Come up hither" 
    about to feel the royal boot 
    go not forth hastily to strive 
    word fitly spoken is like golden apples 
    symbolic character ornamentation 
    boasting false gift like rainless clouds 
    soft tongue breaks princely resistance 
    generously feed a hungry enemy
     
    Three instruments for correcting behavior

    hiring courier fool like cutting off feet 
    repetitive fool like dog eating own vomit 
    the lame excuses of lazy men 
    seven rational men, and one conceited fool      
    like meddling with others' strifes 
    meddling in other people's contentions 
    a contentious man kindleth strife 
    a wicked heart is like silver dross 
    let not thine own mouth praise thee 
    the heaviness of a fool's wrath 
    both - tree keeper shall eat fruit thereof 
    keep diligent track of flocks and herds 
    the goats are the price of the field 
    the wicked flee when no man pursueth 
    advice against having riotous companions 
    idiot princes tend to be oppressive 
    following vain persons leads to poverty 
    dangers of hastily acquired riches 
    when righteous rule, the people rejoice 
    down harlot's primrose path to bankruptcy 
    it is not wise to contend with a fool 
    a wise man spilleth not his guts 
    judicious reproof elevateth self-esteem 
    rod of reproof avoideth parental shame 
    delicate nurturing maketh servant a son

    no need of spoil with a virtuous wife  
    for husband with a virtuous wife 
    keeping a good inventory of wool, flax 
    food brought in as if by ships 
    meals diligently prepared aforetime 
    wheelin' n' dealin' in real estate 
    taking good care of all body parts 
    keeping extremities in good shape 
    adoring mate notices ever burning candles     
    good wife works with spinning wheel 
    poor and needy taken care of 
    she is not afraid of the snow 
    hurry and get the overcoats! 
    all kinds of delicate fabrics 
    husband known among elders in the gates 
    known in the market for her fine clothing 
    strength and honor are her clothing 
    she openeth her mouth with wisdom 
    a dynamo of energy even when overweight 
    his ace in the hole against laziness 
    the woman scorns idleness
