For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

Although he is scornful to arrogant scoffers, yet he shows favor to the humble.

Yet if he is caught he must repay seven times over, he might even have to give all the wealth of his house.

The one who winks his eye causes trouble, and the one who speaks foolishness will come to ruin.

What the wicked fears will come on him; what the righteous desire will be granted.

The wicked person desires a stronghold, but the righteous root endures.

With pride comes only contention, but wisdom is with the well-advised.

Keen insight wins favor, but the conduct of the unfaithful is harsh.

All day long he craves greedily, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.

A rod and reproof impart wisdom, but a child who is unrestrained brings shame to his mother.

The fear of people becomes a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be set on high.

Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.
