My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
