Proverbs

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.

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

A king’s heart is like streams of water in the hands of Jehovah, He directs it as He wills.

Stripes and wounds purge away evil and beatings cleanses the innermost parts.

The glory of young men is their strength and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

Mercy and truth delivers a King and His throne is maintained by loyalty.

Jehovah’s light illuminates a person’s life, searching the innermost parts.

A wise king separates out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
