There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
