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

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

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

Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

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

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

 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
