Rh :A wise son maketh a glad father;
 * But a foolish man despiseth his mother.


 * Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding;
 * But a man of discernment walketh straightforwards.


 * For want of counsel purposes are frustrated;
 * But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.


 * A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth;
 * And a word in due season, how good is it!


 * The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath.


 * The will pluck up the house of the proud;
 * But He will establish the border of the widow.


 * The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to the ;
 * But words of pleasantness are pure.


 * He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
 * But he that hateth gifts shall live.


 * The heart of the righteous studieth to answer;
 * But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.


 * The is far from the wicked;
 * But He heareth the prayer of the righteous.


 * The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart;
 * And a good report maketh the bones fat.


 * The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life abideth among the wise.


 * He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul;
 * But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.


 * The fear of the is the instruction of wisdom;
 * And before honour goeth humility.


 * The preparations of the heart are man's,
 * But the answer of the tongue is from the.


 * All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;
 * But the weigheth the spirits.


 * Commit thy works unto the, And thy thoughts shall be established.


 * The hath made every things for His own purpose,
 * Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.


 * Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the ;
 * My hand upon it! he shall not be unpunished.


 * By mercy and truth iniquity is expiated;
 * And by the fear of the men depart from evil.
