Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and He overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
