- Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. - The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. - Walk with the wise and become wise;
associate with fools and get in trouble. - A troublemaker plants seeds of strife;
gossip separates the best of friends. - Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. - The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe. - Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise. - A wise child brings joy to a father;
a foolish child brings grief to a mother. - We have happy memories of the godly,
but the name of a wicked person rots away. - Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Be wise enough to know when to quit. - The wise are glad to be instructed,
but babbling fools fall flat on their faces. - My son, obey your father’s commands,
and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. - The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
and he receives favor from the Lord. - Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the best part of everything you produce. - A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. - Fools have no interest in understanding;
they only want to air their own opinions. - The generous will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. - The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,
but the poor won’t even get threatened. - Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
even less are lies fitting for a ruler. - The words of the godly are like sterling silver;
the heart of a fool is worthless. - Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,
but right living can save you from death. - Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise. - Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
but dwelling on it separates close friends. - People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
