A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

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

The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

Hear; for I (Wisdom) will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Bind them (Commandments) upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

When thou goest, it (Commandments) shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
