- He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:
but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:
but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
- See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
- And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
- The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious;
but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. - Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. - A fool uttereth all his mind:
but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. - A fool's wrath is presently known:
but a prudent man covereth shame. - A fool's lips enter into contention,
and his mouth calleth for strokes. - A fool hath no delight in understanding,
but that his heart may discover itself. - Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
- It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:
but every fool will be meddling. - The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating fool shall fall.
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.Next verse!With image
