The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the creator of them both.

Fearing the Lord is the beginning of moral knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the Lord,

then you will understand how to fear the Lord, and you will discover knowledge about God.

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

Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops;

My child, do not despise discipline from the Lord, and do not loathe his rebuke.

By wisdom the Lord laid the foundation of the earth; he established the heavens by understanding.

for the Lord will be the source of your confidence, and he will guard your foot from being caught in a trap.

for one who goes astray is an abomination to the Lord, but he reveals his intimate counsel to the upright.

The Lord’s curse is on the household of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.

There are six things that the Lord hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him:

The Lord created me as the beginning of his works, before his deeds of long ago.

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

The Lord satisfies the appetite of the righteous, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

The blessing from the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow to it.

Fearing the Lord prolongs life, but the life span of the wicked will be shortened.

The way of the Lord is like a stronghold for the upright, but it is destruction to evildoers.
