A good [man] obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
The thoughts of the righteous [are] right: [but] the counsels of the wicked [are] deceit.
The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
The wicked are overthrown, and [are] not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
[He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.
He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding.
