Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

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

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

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

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
