A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

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

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

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

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
