Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
[Whoso] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.
Better [is] the poor that walketh in his integrity, than [he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
Also, [that] the soul [be] without knowledge, [it is] not good; and he that hasteth with [his] feet sinneth.
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall not escape.
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that giveth gifts.
