Proverbs

As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

The wicked shall not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

The wicked work a deceitful work, but a sure reward will be to him that sows righteousness.

The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he that is cruel troubles his own flesh.

A gracious woman gains honor and the strong accumulates reward.

He that puts up security for a stranger will suffer for it, but the one that refuses such agreements is protected.

Where no counsel is the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

A talebearer reveals secrets, but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.

He that is void of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his peace.

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
