- It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and to reflect only after making vows. - Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the heart. - To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honor. - All day long he craves and craves,
but the righteous gives and does not hold back. - A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold. - The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
is riches and honor and life. - Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it. - The rich rules over the poor,
and the borrower is the slave of the lender. - Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. - When your eyes light on it, it is gone,
for suddenly it sprouts wings,
flying like an eagle toward heaven. - My son, if your heart is wise,
my heart too will be glad. - The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. - Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future,
and your hope will not be cut off. - A man without self-control
is like a city broken into and left without walls. - Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend,
and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is near
than a brother who is far away. - The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another. - As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man. - If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer is an abomination. - Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. - A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back. - One's pride will bring him low,
but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. - The fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. - Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
