The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens.

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
