- Who can find a worthy wife?
She is far more precious than pearls. - For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord. - A man may plan his own course,
but the Lord makes his steps secure. - As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. - The lips of a fool cause strife,
and his mouth provokes a flogging. - A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness lies incessantly. - A man’s pride will bring him low,
but lowly souls will rise to honor. - Lying lips conceal hatred,
and anyone who slanders another is a fool. - The reward of humility and fear of the Lord
is wealth, honor, and life. - When anyone turns a deaf ear to the law,
even his prayer is detestable. - The Lord abhors lying lips,
but he delights in those who are truthful. - A gift opens doors for the giver
and wins him access to the powerful. - A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult. - One who finds a wife finds happiness
and receives favor from the Lord. - Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze on what lies before you. - Ensure that the path you tread is level,
and then your ways will be sure. - Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life and honor too. - A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. - Authority will be granted to the diligent,
but the lazy will be enslaved. - Anxiety in the human heart weighs it down,
but a kind word makes it glad. - A wise man will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to grief. - Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your crops. - Hope deferred sickens the heart,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - There is a way that seems right to a man,
but the end of it leads to death. - Just as water reflects one’s face,
so does one human heart reflect another.
