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.
[He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
Better [is] a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices [with] strife.
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
The fining pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; [and] a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
