For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

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

There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.

By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.

In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

The crown of the wise is their riches; But the folly of fools is only folly.

An evil man seeketh only rebellion; Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction Only to err from the words of knowledge.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain , And he that giveth to the rich,'shall come only to want.
