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.
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
Children's children [are] the crown of old men; and the glory of children [are] their fathers.
Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
A gift [is as] a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
