1 A man seeketh, for satisfaction, going his own way, through all safe counsel, he breaketh.
2 A dullard, delighteth not, in understanding, in nothing save the exposing of his own heart.
3 When the lawless man cometh in, then cometh also contempt, and, with shame, reproach.
4 Deep waters, are the words of a mans mouth,a bubbling brook, the well-spring of wisdom.
5 To prefer a lawless man, is not good, thrusting away the righteous, in judgment.
6 the lips of a dullard, enter into contention, and his mouth, for blows, crieth out.
7 The mouth of a dullard, is his ruin, and, his lips, are a snare to his soul.
8 the words of a tattler, are dainties, they, therefore go down into the chambers of the inner man.
9 Surely he that is slothful in his work, brother, is he to a master at laying waste.
10 A tower of strength, is the Name of Yahweh, thereinto, runneth the righteous, and is safe.
11 The substance of a rich man, is his strong city, and like a high wall, in his imagination.
12 Before grievous injury, a mans heart is haughty, and, before honour, is humility.
13 He that answereth before he heareth, a folly, it is to him, and, a reproach.
14 The spirit of a man, sustaineth his sickness, but, a dejected spirit, who can bear it?
