Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
