Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; But he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.

The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
