Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

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

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

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

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

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

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
