The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
An hypocrite with [his] mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, [there is] shouting.
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
Where no counsel [is], the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors [there is] safety.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart [for it]: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong [men] retain riches.
The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but [he that is] cruel troubleth his own flesh.
