A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

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

Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:

 Bind them (commandments) continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

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