- A fool despises his father’s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble. - Without counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established. - A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! - The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility. - Commit your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established. - Better is a little with righteousness,
Than vast revenues without justice. - A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps. - How much better to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. - He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. - Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. - A perverse man sows strife,
And a whisperer separates the best of friends. - He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. - Children’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father. - Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,
Much less lying lips to a prince. - He who covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter separates friends. - A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity. - A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones. - Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. - A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart. - A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows. - The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous run to it and are safe. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem. - Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.
