Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife.
The way of the slothful [man is] as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain.
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]!
The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
