- And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
- Labour not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom. - Can one go upon hot coals,
and his feet not be burned? - Hatred stirreth up strifes:

so the heart of man to man. - A man's heart deviseth his way:
but the Lord directeth his steps. - My son, if thine heart be wise,
my heart shall rejoice, even mine. - Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established. - When pride cometh, then cometh shame:
but with the lowly is wisdom. - Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies.
A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger.With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.
