For the Lord will plead their (afflicted) cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

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.
