Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

He who makes many friends [does it] to his own destruction, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from LORD.

A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city, and [such] contentions are like the bars of a castle.

A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the increase of his lips he shall be satisfied.

A poor man uses entreaties, but a rich man answers roughly.

The name of LORD is a strong tower. A righteous man runs into it, and is safe.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself.

He who gives answer before he hears, it is folly and shame to him.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for stripes.

He who pleads his case first [seems] just, but his neighbor comes and searches him out.

The words of a man's mouth are deep waters. The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor [is] humility.

He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer.

A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a broken spirit who can bear?

The heart of a prudent man gets knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts.

To respect the person of a wicked man is not good, [nor] to turn aside a righteous man in judgment.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own imagination.

The lot causes contentions to cease, and decides between the mighty.

When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes, and with disgrace, reproach.

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