Proverbs

It is not good to punish an innocent person, or to beat a noble for his honesty.

A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her that bare him.

Wisdom is before him that has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

A wicked man secretly takes a gift to pervert the ways of judgment.

A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.

He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow. The father of a fool has no joy.

He that has a perverse heart finds no good and he that has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

He that loves to offend loves to quarrel and he that exalts his gate seeks destruction.

One without sense enters an agreement and puts up security for his friend.

A friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity.
