He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
