Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
He that loveth pureness of heart, [for] the grace of his lips the king [shall be] his friend.
The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
