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

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

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

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
