The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

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

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

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

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

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

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
