10.30 :The righteous shall never be moved;
 * But the wicked shall not inhabit the land.


 * The mouth of the righteous buddeth with wisdom;
 * But the froward tongue shall be cut off.


 * The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;
 * But the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness.


 * A false balance is an abomination to the ,
 * But a perfect weight is His delight.


 * When pride cometh, then cometh shame;
 * But with the lowly is wisdom.


 * The integrity of the upright shall guide them;
 * But the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them.


 * Riches profit not in the day of wrath;
 * But righteousness delivereth from death.


 * The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way;
 * But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.


 * The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them;
 * But the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device.


 * When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish,
 * And the hope of strength perisheth.


 * The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
 * And the wicked cometh in his stead.


 * With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour;
 * But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.


 * When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth;
 * And when the wicked perish, there is joy.


 * By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted;
 * But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.


 * He that despiseth his neighbour lacketh understanding;
 * But a man of discernment holdeth his peace.


 * He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets;
 * But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.


 * Where no wise direction is, a people falleth;
 * But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.


 * He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;
 * But he that hateth them that strike hands is secure.


 * A gracious woman obtaineth honour;
 * And strong men obtain riches.


 * The merciful man doeth good to his own soul;
 * But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
