The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

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

A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

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

Keep My commandments, and live; and My law as the apple of thine eye.
