Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
