- A wise son makes a glad father,
But a foolish son is the grief of his mother. - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
But righteousness delivers from death. - Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. - The memory of the righteous is blessed,
But the name of the wicked will rot. - The wise in heart will receive commands,
But a prating fool will fall. - He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known. - Hatred stirs up strife,
But love covers all sins. - He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
But he who refuses correction goes astray. - Whoever hides hatred has lying lips,
And whoever spreads slander is a fool. - In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
The heart of the wicked is worth little. - The blessing of the Lord makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it. - The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked will perish. - The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
