And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
