By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
