The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked; he overthrows the wicked to their ruin.

As Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so the eyes of a person are never satisfied.

Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief.

But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day.

The fruit of the righteous is like a tree producing life, and the one who wins souls is wise.

The words of a gossip are like delicious morsels; they go down into a person’s innermost being.

We will seize all kinds of precious wealth; we will fill our houses with plunder.

Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people.

beside the gates opening into the city, at the entrance of the doorways she cries out:

All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing in them twisted or crooked.

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

Pay careful attention to the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds,

Before destruction the heart of a person is proud, but humility comes before honor.

When a wicked person dies, his expectation perishes, and the hope of his strength perishes.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.

Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil with it.
