Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Hear; for I (Wisdom) will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lighteneth both their eyes.

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
