The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over.

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right.

When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;

yes, my heart will rejoice, when your lips speak what is right.

Don't be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

Don't boast about tomorrow; for you don't know what a day may bring forth.

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if you know?
