- A wise son makes a glad father;
but a foolish son brings grief to 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 accept commandments,
but a chattering fool will fall. - He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out. - Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all wrongs. - He is in the way of life who heeds correction,
but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. - He who hides hatred has lying lips.
He who utters a slander is a fool. - In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
but he who restrains his lips does wisely. - The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth. - Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth,
and he adds no trouble to it. - The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish. - The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright,
but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
