A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. | An honest witness does not lie; a false witness breathes lies. |
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. | There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. |

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. | Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty! |
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. | People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness. |
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. | Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people. |
