10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.10 By insolence the heedless make strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.11 Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle, but he who gathers little by little will increase it.
12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.13 He who despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who respects the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death.
15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.15 Good sense wins favor, but the way of the faithless is their ruin.
16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.16 In everything a prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.17 A bad messenger plunges men into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction, but he who heeds reproof is honored.
19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul; but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.

22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.23 The fallow ground of the poor yields much food, but it is swept away through injustice.
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
