Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

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

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

The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

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.
