- A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother. - Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death. - Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. - The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot. - The wise of heart will receive commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin. - Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. - Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses. - Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. - The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. - When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the heart of the wicked is of little worth. - The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. - The hope of the righteous brings joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will perish. - The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless,
but destruction to evildoers. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.
