Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

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.
