Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

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

He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

She (wisdom) hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

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

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
