| Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. | |
| A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. | |
| When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. | |
| The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. | |
| It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. | |
| A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. | |
| A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. | |
| The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. | |
| He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. | |
| The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. | |
| The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. | |
| Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. | |
| He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. | |
| The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? | |
| The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. | |
| A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. | |
| He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. | |
| The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. | |
| A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. | |
| A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. | |
| Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. | |
| Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. | |
| The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. | |
| A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. |
