Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit of it.

A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Whoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor from the LORD.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

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

The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

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

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame to him.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him.

The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

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

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

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

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

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

The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

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