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.
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way [that is] not good.
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
