My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

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

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

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

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him.
