- 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.

- When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous have a refuge.
- Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known.
- Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
- A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant incurs his wrath.
