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

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.
