When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
