All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

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

 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
