Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
