By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

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

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
