An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
