1 The king's heart in the hand of Jehovah is as brooks of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty, only to want.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.
11 When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 One that is righteous wisely considereth the house of the wicked: he overthroweth the wicked to their ruin.
13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also himself shall cry, and shall not be heard.
15 It is joy to a righteous man to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity.
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead.
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and a treacherous man in the stead of the upright.
20 There is costly store and oil in the dwelling of a wise man; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.
22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more when they bring it with a wicked purpose!
