The tongue of the just [is as] choice silver: the heart of the wicked [is] little worth.
The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
[It is] as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
As the whirlwind passeth, so [is] the wicked no [more]: but the righteous [is] an everlasting foundation.
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so [is] the sluggard to them that send him.
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
The way of the LORD [is] strength to the upright: but destruction [shall be] to the workers of iniquity.
