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

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

He (the Lord) 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?

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
