He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

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

The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but He casteth away the substance of the wicked.

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

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Let not thine heart decline to her (false way) ways, go not astray in her paths.

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
