An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
