I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

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

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

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

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

The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
