Rh :A froward man soweth strife;
 * And a whisperer separateth familiar friends.


 * A man of violence enticeth his neighbour,
 * And leadeth him into a way that is not good.


 * He shutteth his eyes, it is to devise froward things;
 * He that biteth his lips bringeth evil to pass.


 * The hoary head is a crown of glory,
 * It is found in the way of righteousness.


 * He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
 * And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.


 * The lot is cast into the lap;
 * But the whole disposing thereof is of the.


 * Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith,

 * Much less do lying lips a prince.


 * A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it;
 * Whithersoever he turneth, he prospereth.


 * He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
 * But he that harpeth on a matter estrangeth a familiar friend.


 * A rebuke entereth deeper into a man of understanding
 * Than a hundred stripes into a fool.


 * A rebellious man seeketh only evil;
 * Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.


 * Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,
 * Rather than a fool in his folly.


 * Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
 * Evil shall not depart from his house.


 * The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water;
 * Therefore leave off contention, before the quarrel break out.


 * He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous,
