| 16 | 5 | Every
proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined
to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do
justice: and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer
sacrifices. | abominatio Domini omnis arrogans etiam si manus ad manum fuerit non erit innocens |

| 16 | 11 | Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag. | pondus et statera iudicia Domini sunt et opera eius omnes lapides sacculi |
| 16 | 12 | They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice. | abominabiles regi qui agunt impie quoniam iustitia firmatur solium |
| 16 | 13 | Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved. | voluntas regum labia iusta qui recta loquitur diligetur |
| 16 | 14 | The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: and the wise man will pacify it. | indignatio regis nuntii mortis et vir sapiens placabit eam |

| 16 | 21 | The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words, shall attain to greater things. | qui sapiens corde est appellabitur prudens et qui dulcis eloquio maiora percipiet |
| 16 | 22 | Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness. | fons vitae eruditio possidentis doctrina stultorum fatuitas |
| 16 | 23 | The heart of the wise shall instruct his mouth: and shall add grace to his lips. | cor sapientis erudiet os eius et labiis illius addet gratiam |
| 16 | 24 | Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. | favus mellis verba conposita dulcedo animae et sanitas ossuum |
| 16 | 25 | There is a way that seemeth to a man right: and the ends thereof lead to death. | est via quae videtur homini recta et novissimum eius ducit ad mortem |
| 16 | 26 | The soul of him that laboureth, laboureth for himself, because his mouth hath obliged him to it. | anima laborantis laborat sibi quia conpulit eum os suum |
| 16 | 27 | The wicked man diggeth evil, and in his lips is a burning fire. | vir impius fodit malum et in labiis eius ignis ardescit |
