|
||

A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
|
||
He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
|

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
|
||
Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
|
||
Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
|
||
No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
|
||
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who do the truth are his delight.
|
||
A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
|
||
The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
|
||
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.
|
||
A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

||
In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.
