To the upright, the way of the LORD is a place of safety, but it's a place of ruin to those who practice evil.

There is a pathway that seems right to a man, but in the end it's a road to death.

Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will work for kings, not unimportant people.

Do you see a man who is wise in his own opinion? There's more hope for a fool than for him.

The lazy person claims, "There is a lion in the road! There's a lion in the streets!"

Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens a friend's character.

Do you see a man who speaks hastily? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
