I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
