But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness and justice, And equity, yea , every good path.

That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God:

That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous.

But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.

So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.

Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.

A good man shall obtain favor of Jehovah; But a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad.

A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth; But the soul of the treacherous'shall eat violence.

Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.

Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

A trespass-offering mocketh fools; But among the upright there is good will.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man'shall be satisfied from himself.

The evil bow down before the good; And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.

Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth'shall be to them that devise good.

The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.

A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!

The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.

A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, Evil shall not depart from his house.

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.

He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.

Also to punish the righteous is not good, Nor to smite the noble for their uprightness.

To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

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

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah, And his good deed will he pay him again.

Diverse weights are an abomination to Jehovah; And a false balance is not good.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, And loving favor rather than silver and gold.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

Lest thou learn this ways, And get a snare to thy soul.

For surely there is a reward; And thy hope shall not be cut off.

Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.

My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

These also are'sayings of the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.

But to them that rebuke him'shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

It is not good to eat much honey: So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.

Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good.

To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.

Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.

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

She doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.
