Whoso taketh pleasure in wickedness shall be condemned: but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth his life.

A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a child.

As an arrow that sticketh in a man’s thigh, so is a word within a fool’s belly.

There is one that slippeth in his speech, but not from his heart; and who is he that hath not offended with his tongue?

The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.

There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom.

There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment.

There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.

An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.

A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool’s mouth; for he will not speak it in due season.

A lie is a foul blot in a man, yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.

A lie is a foul blot in a man, yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.

Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?

Necessary patience in seeking the Lord is better than he that leadeth his life without a guide.

He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart.

A tale out of season [is as] musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.

He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?

As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.

Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.

Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.

Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: he that keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips.

The sinner shall be left in his foolishness: both the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby.

A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house: if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him: and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offence: and if he swear in vain, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities.

There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.

Two sorts of men multiply sin, and the third will bring wrath: a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be consumed: a fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he hath kindled a fire.

A man that breaketh wedlock, saying thus in his heart, Who seeth me? I am compassed about with darkness, the walls cover me, and no body seeth me; what need I to fear? the most High will not remember my sins:

For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children by another man.

Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.

In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.

Faint not to be strong in the Lord; that he may confirm you, cleave unto him: for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and beside him there is no other Saviour.

He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.

He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.

He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.
