For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

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

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.

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