Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.

 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

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

 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.

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

 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

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