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.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Hear; for I (Wisdom) will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Keep My commandments, and live; and My law as the apple of thine eye.

Bind them (Commandments) continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
