A troubled fountain, and a defiled well, is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

Better is little with the fear of Jehovah than great store and disquietude therewith.

Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues without right.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting with strife.

Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

Better is a meal of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred therewith.

How much better is it to get wisdom than fine gold, and the getting of intelligence to be preferred to silver!

Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the meek, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Better is a poor man that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse, double in ways, though he be rich.

The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall rest satisfied without being visited with evil.

for Jehovah shall be thy confidence, and he will keep thy foot from being taken.

He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and without remedy.
