The wickedness of the ungodly shall catch himself, and with the snares of his own sins shall he be trapped.

He getteth himself also shame and dishonour, such as shall never be put out.

"The LORD himself had me in possession in the beginning of his ways, before he began his works afore time.

Whoso reproveth a scornful person, getteth himself dishonour: and he that rebuketh the ungodly, staineth himself.

Whoso gathereth in summer is wise; but he that is sluggish in harvest, bringeth himself to confusion.

To take heed unto the chastening of nurture, is the way of life; but he that refuseth to be reformed, deceiveth himself.

He that is surety for a stranger, hurteth himself; but he that meddleth not with suretyship, is sure.

He that is liberal in giving, shall have plenty; and he that watereth, shall be watered also himself.

A righteous man abhoreth lies; but the ungodly shameth both others and himself.

Whoso despiseth the word, destroyeth himself; but he that feareth the commandment shall have peace.

He that refuseth to be reformed, despiseth his own soul; but he that submitteth himself to correction, is wise.

A patient man is better than one strong; and he that can rule himself, is more worth than he that winneth a city.

An unwise body bringeth himself in to sorrow; and the father of a fool can have no joy.

He accompanieth himself with all steadfast and healthsome doctrine, that hath a desire to it and is sequestered from company.

The righteous accuseth himself first of all; if his neighbour come, he shall find him.

It is a man's honour to keep himself from strife; but they that have pleasure in brawling, are fools every one.

Whoso stoppeth his ear at the crying of the poor; he shall cry himself and not be heard.

A false witness shall perish; but he that will be content to hear, shall always have power to speak himself.

A wise man seeth the plague and hideth himself; but the foolish go on still and are punished.

Whoso doth a poor man wrong, to increase his own riches, and giveth unto the rich to please him, at the last cometh to poverty himself.

for the LORD himself will defend their cause, and do violence unto them that have used violence.

He maketh himself to be well loved, that giveth a good answer.

Handle thy matter with thy neighbour himself, and discover not another man's secret:

He that can not rule himself, is like a city which is broken down, and hath no walls.

Like as the door turneth about upon the threshold, even so doth the slothful welter himself in his bed.

The sluggard thinketh himself wiser than seven men that sit and teach.

Whoso diggeth up a pit, shall fall therein; and he that weltereth a stone, shall stumble upon it himself.

A wise man seeing the plague will hide himself; as for fools they go on still, and suffer harm.

The rich man thinketh himself to be wise; but the poor that hath understanding, can perceive him well enough.

He that giveth unto the poor, shall not want; but he that turneth away his eyes from such as be in necessity, shall suffer great poverty himself.
