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.

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

For by me (Wisdom) thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

For my (Wisdom) mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Exalt her (Wisdom), and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
