Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. |
|
A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. |
|
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. |
|
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. |
|
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. |
|
An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. |
|
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. |
|
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. |
|
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? |
|
A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. |
|
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. |
|
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. |
|
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. |
|
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. |
