- The desire of a man is his kindness:
and a poor man is better than a liar. - The ransom of a man's life are his riches:
but the poor heareth not rebuke. - My son, keep thy father's commandment,
and forsake not the law of thy mother. - Open thy mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy. - A fool uttereth all his mind:
but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. - Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,
and obtaineth favour of the Lord. - Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding. - Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings;
and the years of thy life shall be many. - Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. - For the Lord giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. - Riches profit not in the day of wrath:
but righteousness delivereth from death. - Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility. - Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the Lord pondereth the hearts. - Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:
but a good word maketh it glad. - Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:
but righteousness delivereth from death. - A fool hath no delight in understanding,
but that his heart may discover itself. - It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:
but every fool will be meddling. - A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones. - In all labour there is profit:
but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. - Every word of God is pure:
he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. - He that hideth hatred with lying lips,
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. - A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. - He coveteth greedily all the day long:
but the righteous giveth and spareth not. - Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge:
but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Honour the Lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
