Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

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.

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

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

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

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
