He (the LORD God) layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.

A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
