Proverbs

It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with a nagging and hot tempered wife.

The wicked are a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.

He that loves pleasure shall be a poor man and he that loves wine and oil shall not be rich.

Every plan is finalized by counsel. Wage war with sound guidance.

The violence of the wicked shall destroy them, because they refuse to do do what is right.

Making a fortune by lying is a vanishing mist, a pursuit of death.

The plans of the diligent lead to profit, but every one that is reckless becomes poor.

The lamp that guides the wicked – haughty eyes and an arrogant heart – is sin.

Doing what is righteous and just is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.

A mans way seems right to him, but Jehovah evaluates the motives.
