It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

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

 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

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

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
