Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.

A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and He overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
