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

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

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

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

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

A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
