1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment. (犹1:19) 2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. (箴13:16; 传10:3) 3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace. 4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. (箴20:5) 5 It is not good to be partial to^[1] the wicked or to deprive the righteous of justice. (利19:15; 申1:17; 诗82:2; 箴17:15; 箴24:23; 箴28:21)

6 A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. (箴19:29) 7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul. (诗64:8; 诗140:9; 箴10:14; 箴12:13; 箴13:3; 传10:12)

8 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. (箴16:28; 箴20:27; 箴26:22) 9 Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. (箴28:24) 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. (出34:5; 撒下22:3; 诗18:2; 诗20:1; 诗61:3)

11 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination. (箴10:15) 12 Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. (箴11:2; 箴15:33) 13 If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. (约7:51) 14 A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? (箴15:13) 15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. 16 A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great. (创32:20; 撒上25:27; 箴17:8) 17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. 18 The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders. (箴16:33) 19 A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle. 20 From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. (箴12:14) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. (箴4:23; 箴12:13; 太12:36) 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. (创2:18; 箴8:35; 箴12:4; 箴19:14; 箴31:10)

23 The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly. (雅2:3; 雅2:6) 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (箴17:17)
