18 People who avoid other people only care about doing what they want to do.
They refuse to do anything that is wise.
2 Stupid people hate learning what they should understand.
Instead, they only like to tell others what they think.
3 People treat wicked people contemptuously,
and people scold people who act shamefully.
4 What wise people say is as profound as a deep ocean.
Wise people are like a fountain or brook that flows abundantly with what is wise.
5 It is very evil for judges to favor guilty people
in order to prevent judging innocent people justly.
6 What stupid people say makes people argue,
and it makes people want to beat them.
7 What stupid people say will ruin them.
Indeed, what they say will trouble them like a trap troubles an animal.
8 People are eager to listen to what people who gossip say,
and what they say deeply affects those who hear it.
9 People who are lazy when they work
are like people who destroy things.
10 Yahweh is like a strong tower
that righteous people run into and are safe.
11 What rich people own keeps them safe like walls keep cities safe;
they think what they own protects them as well as a high wall.
12 If people think proudly, then something will destroy them;
people must be humble before other people respect them.
13 It is foolish and shameful
for someone to reply to what a person has said before hearing it.
14 How people feel can enable them to endure being sick.
However, it is very difficult to make a depressed person feel better!
15 Understanding people learn what they should know.
Indeed, wise people try to learn what they should know.
16 Giving something to someone can benefit the one who gives it;
doing so can enable that person to meet important people.
17 People who state their cases first seem to be right
until people whom they know arrive and question them.
18 Throwing lots in order to decide something can make people stop arguing,
it can also decide who is right between powerful people.
19 It is more difficult to reconcile with a relative whom you have offended than to conquer a fortified city;
and when people argue, they avoid each other as if a castle’s strong gate were between them.
20 What people say will satisfy them when they are hungry.
Indeed, what people say will satisfy them.
21 What people say can cause people to die or remain alive.
And people who love to talk will experience the consequences for what they say.
22 Men who marry get what is good
and Yahweh approves of them.
23 Poor people plead for others to be merciful to them, but rich people reply to them rudely.
24 Having unreliable friends will destroy a person,
but loving friends exist who are more loyal than brothers.
