Qui diligit disciplinam diligit scientiam; qui autem odit increpationes insipiens est. Qui bonus est hauriet gratiam a Domino; qui autem confidit in cogitationibus suis impie agit. Non roborabitur homo ex impietate, et radix justorum non commovebitur. Mulier diligens corona est viro suo; et putredo in ossibus ejus, quæ confusione res dignas gerit. Cogitationes justorum judicia, et consilia impiorum fraudulenta. Verba impiorum insidiantur sanguini; os justorum liberabit eos. Verte impios, et non erunt; domus autem justorum permanebit. Doctrina sua noscetur vir; qui autem vanus et excors est patebit contemptui. Melior est pauper et sufficiens sibi quam gloriosus et indigens pane. Novit justus jumentorum suorum animas; viscera autem impiorum crudelia. Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus; qui autem sectatur otium stultissimus est. Qui suavis est in vini demorationibus, in suis munitionibus relinquit contumeliam. Desiderium impii munimentum est pessimorum; radix autem justorum proficiet. Propter peccata labiorum ruina proximat malo; effugiet autem justus de angustia. De fructu oris sui unusquisque replebitur bonis, et juxta opera manuum suarum retribuetur ei. Via stulti recta in oculis ejus; qui autem sapiens est audit consilia. Fatuus statim indicat iram suam; qui autem dissimulat injuriam callidus est. Qui quod novit loquitur, index justitiæ est; qui autem mentitur, testis est fraudulentus. Est qui promittit, et quasi gladio pungitur conscientiæ: lingua autem sapientium sanitas est. Labium veritatis firmum erit in perpetuum; qui autem testis est repentinus, concinnat linguam mendacii. Dolus in corde cogitantium mala; qui autem pacis ineunt consilia, sequitur eos gaudium. Non contristabit justum quidquid ei acciderit: impii autem replebuntur malo. Abominatio est Domino labia mendacia; qui autem fideliter agunt placent ei. Homo versatus celat scientiam, et cor insipientium provocat stultitiam. Manus fortium dominabitur; quæ autem remissa est, tributis serviet. Mœror in corde viri humiliabit illum, et sermone bono lætificabitur. Qui negligit damnum propter amicum, justus est; iter autem impiorum decipiet eos. Non inveniet fraudulentus lucrum, et substantia hominis erit auri pretium. In semita justitiæ vita; iter autem devium ducit ad mortem.
