⁹作假见证的人，难免受罚；撒播谎言的人，自趋灭亡。	⁹The false witness will not go unpunished, the liar will perish.

¹³愚昧的儿子，是父亲的灾祸；吵闹的女人，有如屋顶漏水。	¹³The foolish son is the ruination of his father; the nagging wife is like a dripping gutter.
¹⁴房屋与钱财，是父母的遗产；贤明的妻子，是上主的恩赐。	¹⁴House and wealth are inherited from a father but a sensible wife is a gift from Yahweh.
¹⁵懒慢怠惰，使人沉睡；闲荡的人，必要挨饿。	¹⁵Laziness makes a man fall asleep, the idler will go hungry.
¹⁶恪守上主诫命的，可保全生命；轻视上主道路的，必自趋丧亡。	¹⁶He who keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises it dies.
¹⁷向穷人施舍，是借贷于上主；对他的功德，上主必要报答。	¹⁷He who shows compassion to the poor lends to Yahweh, who will repay his good deed.
¹⁸尚有希望时，应处罚儿子；但不可存心置他于死地。	¹⁸Correct your son as long as there is hope, lest you be responsible for his death.

²⁴懒惰人伸手到食盘，却懒于送回到口边。	²⁴The lazy man dips his hand in the dish but he cannot even lift it to his mouth.
²⁵你若杖责轻狂人，幼稚者将变明智；你只谴责明智者，他即更明了义理。	²⁵Punish the mocker and the ignorant will be more careful; rebuke a discerning man and he will listen to reason.
²⁶苛待父亲，迫走母亲的，实是卑贱可耻的儿子。	²⁶He who dispossesses his father and evicts his mother is a shameful and degenerate son.
²⁷我儿，你停止听取教训，就是远离智慧的训言。	²⁷My son, listen to instruction and stop straying from the words of wisdom.
²⁸邪曲的见证，戏笑公义；恶人们的嘴，吞食不义。	²⁸An unworthy witness makes a mockery of justice; the mouth of the wicked feeds on evil.
²⁹体刑是为轻狂人而设，鞭笞是为愚人背而备。	²⁹Punishments were made for mockers and blows, for the backs of fools.
