Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
and the one who is wise saves lives.

The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

The human spirit can endure in times of illness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?

A person’s wisdom yields patience;
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offence.

The glory of young men is their strength,
grey hair the splendour of the old.

Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them round your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.

Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.

For your ways are in full view of the Lord,
and he examines all your paths.

For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,

Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.

Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?

Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
