If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

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

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
