19 (A)Better is a poor person who (B)walks in his integrityThan a person who is perverse in [a]speech and is a fool.
19 Better to be poor and walk in innocence than to have dishonest lips and be a fool.
3 The (A)foolishness of a person ruins his way,And his heart (B)rages against the Lord.
3 People’s own folly corrupts their way, but their hearts rage against the Lord.
10 Luxury is (A)not fitting for a fool;Much less for a (B)slave to rule over princes.
10 Luxury isn’t fitting for a fool; even less so for a servant to rule over princes.
29 [a]Judgments are prepared for (A)scoffers,And (B)beatings for the backs of fools.
29 Punishments were made for mockers, and blows for the backs of fools.
