| A fair name is better than much wealth, and good favour is above silver and gold. | Лу́чше і́м'я до́броє, не́же бога́тство мно́го, па́че же сребра́ і зла́та благода́ть блага́я. |

|
| The rich and the poor meet together; but the Lord made them both. | Бога́т і нищ сріто́ста друг дру́га, обої́х же Госпо́дь сотвори́. |

|
| An intelligent man seeing a bad man severely punished is himself instructed, but fools pass by and are punished. | Худо́г, ви́дів лука́ваго му́чима крі́пко, сам наказу́ється; безу́мнії же мимоше́дше отщети́шася. |

|
| The fear of the Lord is the offspring of wisdom, and wealth, and glory, and life. | Род прему́дрости страх Госпо́день, і бога́тство і сла́ва і живо́т. |

|
| Thistles and snares are in perverse ways; but he that keeps his soul will refrain from them. | Волчці́ і сі́ті на путе́х стро́потних, храня́й же свою́ ду́шу ізбіжи́ть їх. |

|
| The rich will rule over the poor, and servants will lend to their own masters. | і раби́ свої́м господе́м взайм даду́ть. |

|
| He that sows wickedness shall reap troubles; and shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds. | Сі́явий зла́я по́жнеть зла́я, я́зву же діл свої́х соверши́ть. |

|
| God loves a cheerful and liberal man; but a man shall fully prove the folly of his works. | |
|

|
| He that has pity on the poor shall himself be maintained; for he has given of his own bread to the poor. | Му́жа ти́ха і дая́теля лю́бить Госпо́дь, суєту́ же діл єго́ сконча́єть. |
|

|
|
| He that gives liberally secures victory and honour; but he takes away the life of them that possess them. | |
|

|
| Cast out a pestilent person from the council, and strife shall go out with him; for when he sits in the council he dishonours all. | Ми́луяй ни́щаго сам препита́ється; от свої́х бо хлі́бов даде́ убо́гому. Побі́ду і честь устроя́єть дая́й да́ри, оба́че ду́шу погубля́єть стяжа́вших. |

|
|
| The Lord loves holy hearts, and all blameless persons are acceptable with him: a king rules with his lips. | |
|
12
|
|
| But the eyes of the Lord preserve discretion; but the transgressor despises wise words. | |
|
13
|
|
| The sluggard makes excuses, and says, There is a lion in the ways, and murderers in the streets. | |
|
14
|
|
| The mouth of a transgressor is a deep pit; and he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it. | |
|
14a
|
|
| Evil ways are before a man, and he does not like to turn away from them; but it is needful to turn aside from a perverse and bad way. | |
|
15
|
|
| Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are then far from him. | |
|
16
|
|
| He that oppresses the poor, increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less. | |
|
17
|
|
| Incline thine ear to the words of wise men: hear also my word, and apply thine heart, | |
|
18
|
|
| that thou mayest know that they are good: and if thou lay them to heart, they shall also gladden thee on thy lips. | |
|
19
|
|
| That thy hope may be in the Lord, and he may make thy way known to thee. | |
|
20
|
|
| And do thou too repeatedly record them for thyself on the table of thine heart, for counsel and knowledge. | |
|
21
|
|
| I therefore teach thee truth, and knowledge good to hear; that thou mayest answer words of truth to them that question thee. | |
|
22
|
|
| Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy: neither dishonour the helpless man in the gates. | |
|
23
|
|
| For the Lord will plead his cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety. | |
|
24
|
|
| Be not companion to a furious man; neither lodge with a passionate man: | |
|
25
|
|
| lest thou learn of his ways, and get snares to thy soul. | |
|
26
|
|
| Become not surety from respect of a man's person. | |
|
27
|
|
| For if those have not whence to give compensation, they will take the bed that is under thee. | |
|
28
|
|
| Remove not the old landmarks, which thy fathers placed. | |
|
29
|
|
| It is fit that an observant man and one diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men. |
