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

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
