How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?

and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.

How long will thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out of thy sleep?

Behold, a righteous man shall be recompensed in the earth, how much more the wicked man and the sinner!

Sheol and Abaddon are before LORD. How much more then the hearts of the sons of men!

A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!

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

All the brothers of a poor man hate him, how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues [with] words, [but] they are gone.

A man's goings are of LORD, how then can man understand his way?

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination. How much more when he brings it with a wicked mind!

There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes, and their eyelids are lifted up.
