Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
