He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

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

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is His delight.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

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

The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
