but whoever heeds admonition is prudent. - It is better to have a little and fear the Lord
than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish. - Plans miscarry when counsel is lacking,
but they succeed when there are many counselors. - A man is joyful when he utters apt answers,
and even more satisfying is a word in season. - The fear of the Lord provides instruction in wisdom,
and to be humble is the way to honor. - Entrust everything that you do to the Lord,
and your plans will turn out to be successful. - It is better to have little and be righteous
than to acquire great riches with injustice. - A man may plan his own course,
but the Lord makes his steps secure. - It is better to acquire wisdom rather than gold,
and more desirable to acquire understanding rather than silver. - The one who pays heed to instruction prospers,
and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. - Pleasing words are like a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and affording health to the body. - A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships. - It is better to be a patient man rather than a warrior,
one who controls his temper rather than one who captures a city. - Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their parents. - Fine words are not becoming to a fool,
and much less are false words to a noble. - One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. - A true friend is one at all times,
and a brother is born to render help in time of need. - A cheerful heart is excellent medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent. - A fool takes no pleasure in understanding
but only delights in expressing his own opinions. - The lips of a fool cause strife,
and his mouth provokes a flogging. - The whispers of a gossiper are tasty morsels
that corrode one’s inner being. - The name of the Lord is a tower of strength;
the upright man runs to it and finds refuge. - The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold;
he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled. - A man is haughty until disaster overtakes him,
but humility comes before honors.
