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

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

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

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

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

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

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