When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen.

Where the prince is without understanding, there is great oppression and wrong; but if he be such one as hateth covetousness, he shall long reign.

The one who robs his father and mother and says, "There is no transgression," is a companion to the one who destroys.

[For] he who gives to the poor, there is no lacking, but [for] he who turns his eyes, [there are] many curses.

A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly broken, and there is no healing.

Where the righteous have the over hand, the people are in prosperity; but where the ungodly beareth rule, there the people mourn.

In the steps of an evil man there is a net for him, but the upright man gets away quickly and is glad.

If a wise man goes to law with a foolish man, he may be angry or laughing, but there will be no rest.

Where there is no vision, the people are uncontrolled; but he who keeps the law will be happy.

A slave will not be instructed by words alone;
For though he understands, there will be no response.

Have you seen a man who is quick with his tongue? There is more hope for a foolish man than for him.

Many there be that seek the prince's favour, but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother;

there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness;

there is a generation, how lofty are their eyes, how their eyelids are lifted up!

There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords
And his jaw teeth like knives,
To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men.

The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three things never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:

There be three things that are never satisfied, and the fourth sayeth never, "Hoo." The hell, a woman's womb, and the earth hath never water enough. As for fire, it sayeth never, "Hoo."

There are three things too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:

For three things the earth is moved, and there are four which it will not put up with:

There are four things little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise:

A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out -- each one shouting,

There are three things which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:

The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.

She comforts, encourages, and does him only good and not evil
All the days of her life.

Many daughters there be that gather riches together, but thou goest above them all.
