- When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
- By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
- He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
- A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
- Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

- When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
- By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
- He who despises his neighbor lacks sense, But a man of understanding keeps silent.
- He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is trustworthy conceals a matter.
- Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.

- He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
- A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
- The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
- The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
- As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

- The merciful man does himself good, But the cruel man does himself harm.
- The wicked earns deceptive wages, But he who sows righteousness gets a true reward.
- He who is steadfast in righteousness will attain to life, And he who pursues evil will bring about his own death.

- They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
|
