The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.

A good person obtains favor from the Lord, but the Lord condemns a person with wicked schemes.

In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and it will be a refuge for his children.

All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the Lord evaluates the motives.

The one who acquits the guilty and the one who condemns the innocent – both of them are an abomination to the Lord.

The name of the Lord is like a strong tower; the righteous person runs to it and is set safely on high.

There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the Lord which will stand.

There is no wisdom and there is no understanding, and there is no counsel against the Lord.

for the Lord will plead their case and will rob those who are robbing them.

lest the Lord see it, and be displeased, and turn his wrath away from him.

Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

For the ways of a person are in front of the Lord’s eyes, and the Lord weighs all that person’s paths.

Death and Destruction are before the Lord – how much more the hearts of humans!

for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

Evil people do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it all.

lest I become satisfied and act deceptively and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I become poor and steal and demean the name of my God.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
