A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

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

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

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

 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

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