Proverbs of Solomon

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.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked; but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
