18 People who avoid other people only care about doing what they want to do.
They refuse to do anything that is wise.
2 Foolish people hate learning.
Instead, they only want 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 always saying wise things, like a fountain that flows in a constant stream.
5 It is very evil for judges to favor guilty people
in order to prevent judging innocent people justly.
6 What foolish people say makes people argue,
and it makes people want to beat them.
7 What foolish people say will ruin them.
Indeed, what they say may cause them to die, as a trap may cause an animal to die.
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 Rich people think that what they own keeps them safe like walls keep cities safe;
they think that what they own protects them as well as a high wall.
12 Before people ruin themselves, they have first become proud;
and before people will respect someone, that person must become humble.
13 It is foolish and shameful
for someone to reply to what a person has said before hearing it.
14 When someone is inwardly strong, he can endure being sick.
However, when someone is inwardly weak and depressed, it is very difficult to make the person feel better!
15 Understanding people are always learning more.
Indeed, wise people are always trying to learn more.
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 to remain alive.
So people who are skillful at talking will strongly influence what happens to themselves and to others.
22 A man who marries a good wife will experience good things,
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 companions who only seem to be true friends will destroy a person,
but there is a type of friend who loves us and is more loyal than any brother.
