- He who loves purity of heart And whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend.
- The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous man.
- The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside; I will be killed in the streets!"
- The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; He who is cursed of the LORD will fall into it.
- Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.
|
- He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
- Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge;
- For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, That they may be ready on your lips.
- So that your trust may be in the LORD, I have taught you today, even you.
- Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,
|
- To make you know the certainty of the words of truth That you may correctly answer him who sent you?
