Proverbs

The man’s spirit can endure sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?

It’s foolishness and disgrace for a man to give an answer before he listens.

Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

The rich man’s wealth is his fortified city, and like a high wall in his imagination

The name of Jehovah is a strong tower, the righteous run into it and are safe.

He that is lazy in his work is brother to the destroyer.

The words of a gossip are like choice food that goes down into one’s innermost being.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction and his lips are the snare of his soul.

A fool’s lips lead to contention, and his mouth calls for blows.

It is not good to show partiality to the guilty by perverting the justice due the innocent.
