- The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
- A large population is a king's glory, but without subjects a prince is ruined.
- A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.
- A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
- He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

- The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
- In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
- He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
- A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
- He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
