- Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor. - Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil. - Fools vent their anger,
but the wise quietly hold it back. - My child, if your heart is wise,
my own heart will rejoice! - Work hard and become a leader;
be lazy and become a slave. - Rumors are dainty morsels
that sink deep into one’s heart. - Commit your actions to the Lord,
and your plans will succeed. - Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor. - Hatred stirs up quarrels,
but love makes up for all offenses. - You can make many plans,
but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. - An honest witness does not lie;
a false witness breathes lies. - Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path. - I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths. - Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you. - Plans go wrong for lack of advice;
many advisers bring success. - Too much talk leads to sin.
Be sensible and keep your mouth shut. - For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord. - A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare. - Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people. - To learn, you must love discipline;
it is stupid to hate correction. - Giving a gift can open doors;
it gives access to important people! - Worry weighs a person down;
an encouraging word cheers a person up. - Some people are always greedy for more,
but the godly love to give! - Hiding hatred makes you a liar;
slandering others makes you a fool. - Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest.
