- Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - A dishonest man spreads strife,
and a whisperer separates close friends. - Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. - Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their fathers. - Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
still less is false speech to a prince. - Whoever covers an offense seeks love,
but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. - A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity. - A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. - A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion. - A fool's lips walk into a fight,
and his mouth invites a beating. - The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous man runs into it and is safe. - A rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and like a high wall in his imagination. - Before destruction a man's heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor. - A man's gift makes room for him
and brings him before the great. - Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits. - He who finds a wife finds a good thing
and obtains favor from the Lord. - A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - Whoever gets sense loves his own soul;
he who keeps understanding will discover good. - House and wealth are inherited from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. - Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;
he who despises his ways will die. - Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. - What is desired in a man is steadfast love,
and a poor man is better than a liar. - It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife,
but every fool will be quarreling.
