A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

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

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

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

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