Proverbs 3:5 (4/6)

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city.He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their parents.Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a ruler.Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Even fools who keep silent are considered wise; when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent.Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing personal opinion.A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
A fool's lips bring strife, and a fool's mouth invites a flogging.A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
The wealth of the rich is their strong city; in their imagination it is like a high wall.The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Before destruction one's heart is haughty, but humility goes before honor.Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
A gift opens doors; it gives access to the great.A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.
Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin.A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
To get wisdom is to love oneself; to keep understanding is to prosper.He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
House and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Those who keep the commandment will live; those who are heedless of their ways will die.He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
What is desirable in a person is loyalty, and it is better to be poor than a liar.The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
It is honorable to refrain from strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

It is a snare for one to say rashly, “It is holy,” and begin to reflect only after making a vow.It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
