- The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
- The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
- A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.

- The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings them trouble.
- The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools.
- The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
- The LORD detests the way of the wicked but he loves those who pursue righteousness.
- Stern discipline awaits him who leaves the path; he who hates correction will die.
