The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich [hath] many friends.
He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy [is] he.
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth [shall be] to them that devise good.
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips [tendeth] only to penury.
The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the foolishness of fools [is] folly.
A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful [witness] speaketh lies.
In the fear of the LORD [is] strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
The fear of the LORD [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
