| 11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who is intelligent sees through him. | 11 Le riche est sage à ses propres yeux, mais un pauvre intelligent le démasque. |
| 12 When the just are triumphant, there is great jubilation; but when the wicked gain preeminence, people hide. | 12 Quand les justes exultent, c'est une grande fierté, quand se lèvent les méchants, on se dérobe. |
| 13 He who conceals his sins prospers not, but he who confesses and forsakes them obtains mercy. | 13 Qui masque ses forfaits point ne réussira; qui les avoue et y renonce obtiendra merci. |
| 14 Happy the man who is always on his guard; but he who hardens his heart will fall into evil. | 14 Heureux l'homme toujours en alarme; qui s'endurcit le coeur tombera dans le malheur. |
| 15 Like a roaring lion or a ravenous bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. | 15 Un lion rugissant, un ours qui bondit, tel est le chef méchant sur un peuple faible. |
| 16 The less prudent the prince, the more his deeds oppress. He who hates ill-gotten gain prolongs his days. | 16 Un prince sans intelligence est riche en extorsions, qui hait la cupidité prolongera ses jours. |

| 19 He who cultivates his land will have plenty of food, but from idle pursuits a man has his fill of poverty. | 19 Qui cultive sa terre sera rassasié de pain, qui poursuit des chimères sera rassasié d'indigence. |

| 21 To show partiality is never good: for even a morsel of bread a man may do wrong. | 21 C'est mal de faire acception de personnes, mais pour une bouchée de pain, l'homme commet unforfait. |
