Rh :And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.


 * The thoughtless believeth every word;
 * But the prudent man looketh well to his going.


 * A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil;
 * But the fool behaveth overbearingly, and is confident.


 * He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly;
 * And a man of wicked devices is hated.


 * The thoughtless come into possession of folly;
 * But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.


 * The evil bow before the good,
 * And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.


 * The poor is hated even of his own neighbour;
 * But the rich hath many friends.


 * He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth;
 * But he that is gracious unto the humble, happy is he.


 * Shall they not go astray that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be for them that devise good.


 * In all labour there is profit;
 * But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.


 * The crown of the wise is their riches;
 * But the folly of fools remaineth folly.


 * A true witness delivereth souls;
 * But he that breatheth forth lies is all deceit.


 * In the fear of the a man hath strong confidence;
 * And his children shall have a place of refuge.


 * The fear of the is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.


 * In the multitude of people is the king's glory;
 * But in the want of people is the ruin of the prince.


 * He that is slow to anger is of great understanding;
 * But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.


 * A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh;
 * But envy is the rottenness of the bones.


 * He that oppresseth the poor blasphemeth his Maker;
 * But he that is gracious unto the needy honoureth Him.


 * The wicked is thrust down in his misfortune;
 * But the righteous, even when he is brought to death, hath hope.


 * In the heart of him that hath discernment wisdom resteth;
 * But in the inward part of fools it maketh itself known.


 * Righteousness exalteth a nation;
 * But sin is a reproach to any people.
