Rh :He that walketh uprightly walketh securely;
 * But he that perverteth his ways shall be found out.


 * He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow;
 * And a prating fool shall fall.


 * The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;
 * But the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.


 * Hatred stirreth up strifes;
 * But love covereth all transgressions.


 * In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;
 * But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.


 * Wise men lay up knowledge;
 * But the mouth of the foolish is an imminent ruin.


 * The rich man's wealth is his strong city;
 * The ruin of the poor is their poverty.


 * The wages of the righteous is life;
 * The increase of the wicked is sin.


 * He is in the way of life that heedeth instruction;
 * But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.


 * He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;
 * And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.


 * In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;
 * But he that refraineth his lips is wise.


 * The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver;
 * The heart of the wicked is little worth.


 * The lips of the righteous feed many;
 * But the foolish die for want of understanding.


 * The blessing of the, it maketh rich,
 * And toil addeth nothing thereto.


 * It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness,
 * And so is wisdom to a man of discernment.


 * The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him;
 * And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.


 * When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more;
 * But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.


 * As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,
 * So is the sluggard to them that send him.


 * The fear of the prolongeth days;
 * But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.


 * The hope of the righteous is gladness;
 * But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.


 * The way of the is a stronghold to the upright,
 * But ruin to the workers of iniquity.
