(箴13:16; 传10:3)3When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace.4The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. (箴20:5)5It 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)6A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating. (箴19:29)7A 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)8The 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)9Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. (箴28:24)10The 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)11A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination. (箴10:15)12Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. (箴11:2; 箴15:33)13If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. (约7:51)14A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? (箴15:13)15An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.16A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great. (创32:20; 撒上25:27; 箴17:8)17The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.18The lot puts an end to quarrels and decides between powerful contenders. (箴16:33)19A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle.20From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. (箴12:14)21Death 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)22He 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)23The poor use entreaties, but the rich answer roughly. (雅2:3; 雅2:6)24A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (箴17:17)
