Proverbs

The tongue of the just is as choice silver. The heart of the wicked is worth little.

He that hides hatred with lying lips, and he that utters a slander, is a fool.

He that keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he that refuses reproof errs.

The labor of the righteous tends to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city. The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Wise men lay up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

In the lips of him that has understanding wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

He that winks with the eye causes sorrow, but a prating fool shall fall.
