I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing. You knew me thoroughly;

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty extends over the earth and sky.

Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.

Therefore, his disaster will come suddenly; in an instant he will be broken, and there will be no remedy.

When he established the heavens, I was there; when he marked out the horizon over the face of the deep,

Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching at my doors day by day, waiting beside my doorway.

It is terrible to punish a righteous person, and to flog honorable men is wrong.

A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.

The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord like channels of water; he turns it wherever he wants.

It is better to live on a corner of the housetop than in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife.

Train a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

For it is pleasing if you keep these sayings within you, and they are ready on your lips.

Eat honey, my child, for it is good, and honey from the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom.

Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to the ear of the one who listens.

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

It is better to live on a corner of the housetop than in a house in company with a quarrelsome wife.

Like cold water to a weary person, so is good news from a distant land.

Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.

Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart.
