1) Better to be poor and honest
than to be dishonest and a fool.

haste makes mistakes.
3) People ruin their lives by their own foolishness
and then are angry at the Lord.
4) Wealth makes many “friends”;
poverty drives them all away.
5) A false witness will not go unpunished,
nor will a liar escape.
6) Many seek favors from a ruler;
everyone is the friend of a person who gives gifts!

their friends are gone.

people who cherish understanding will prosper.

they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.
12) The king’s anger is like a lion’s roar,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.

but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.

bringing security and protection from harm.

if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.

are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.

you will turn your back on knowledge.
