- He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend.
- The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
- The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!" or, "I will be murdered in the streets!"
- The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the LORD's wrath will fall into it.
- Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

- He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich--both come to poverty.
- Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,
- for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.
- So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.
- Have I not written thirty sayings for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge,
|
- teaching you true and reliable words, so that you can give sound answers to him who sent you?
