It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

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

Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
