Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
