The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

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

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

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

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

All the words of my (Wisdom) mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

Bind them (Commandments) continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
