20:017:005 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:  and he that is
           glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

20:017:006 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of
           children are their fathers.

20:017:007 Excellent speech becometh not a fool:  much less do lying lips
           a prince.

20:017:008 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: 
           whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

20:017:009 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that
           repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

20:017:010 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred
           stripes into a fool.

20:017:011 An evil man seeketh only rebellion:  therefore a cruel
           messenger shall be sent against him.

20:017:012 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool
           in his folly.

20:017:013 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his
           house.

20:017:014 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: 
           therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

20:017:015 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the
           just, even they both are abomination to the lord.

20:017:016 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get
           wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

20:017:017 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for
           adversity.

20:017:018 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh
           surety in the presence of his friend.

20:017:019 He loveth transgression that loveth strife:  and he that
           exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20:017:020 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:  and he that hath
           a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

20:017:021 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:  and the
           father of a fool hath no joy.

20:017:022 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:  but a broken spirit
           drieth the bones.

20:017:023 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the
           ways of judgment.

20:017:024 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of
           a fool are in the ends of the earth.

20:017:025 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her
           that bare him.

20:017:026 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for
           equity.

20:017:027 He that hath knowledge spareth his words:  and a man of
           understanding is of an excellent spirit.

20:017:028 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:  and
           he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
