Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Better [it is to be] of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy [is] he.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Understanding [is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools [is] folly.
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.
He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips [there is] as a burning fire.
