- Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. - A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends. - Better a patient person than a warrior,
one with self-control than one who takes a city. - Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children. - Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler! - Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. - A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity. - A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues. - Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. - The lips of fools bring them strife,
and their mouths invite a beating. - The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts. - The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe. - The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;
they imagine it a wall too high to scale. - Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor. - A gift opens the way
and ushers the giver into the presence of the great. - The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit. - He who finds a wife finds what is good
and receives favor from the Lord. - One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. - Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. - Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,
but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die. - Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. - What a person desires is unfailing love;
better to be poor than a liar. - It is to one’s honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.
It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows.Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.
