Proverbs

The fear of the wicked shall come upon him, but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief, but a man of understanding has wisdom.

The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for want of wisdom.

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

In the multitude of words there lacks not sin, but he that refrains his lips is wise.

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.
