How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way
preserves his life.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil
with the proud.
Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who
trusts in the Lord.
The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases
persuasiveness.
Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of
fools is folly.
The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his
lips.
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the
body.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
A worker's appetite works for him; his mouth urges him on.
A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.
A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.
A man of violence entices his neighbour and leads him in a way that is not
good.
Whoever winks his eyes plans dishonest things; he who purses his lips brings
evil to pass.
Grey hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit
than he who takes a city.
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
How
much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen
rather than silver.
