- A wise child makes a glad father,
but a foolish child is a mother’s grief. - 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 heed commandments,
but one with foolish lips will come to ruin. - Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out. - Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses. - Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray. - Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. - When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but the prudent are restrained in speech. - The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the mind of the wicked is of little worth. - The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and toil adds nothing to it. - The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing. - The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright
but destruction for evildoers. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
