Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.

Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,

A joyful heart, worketh an excellent cure, - but, a stricken spirit, drieth up the bone.

But, to reprovers, one should be pleasant, and, upon them, should come an excellent blessing:

Riches and honour are with me; yea, excellent goods and righteousness.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.

He that has knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
