The wise-hearted person is told to be discerning, and that pleasant speech promotes instruction.

The wise-hearted man will let himself be ruled, but the man whose talk is foolish will have a fall.

He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered.

The troubler of his house will have the wind for his heritage, and the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted.

Evil designs are disgusting to the Lord, but the words of the clean-hearted are pleasing.

For the wrong-hearted man is hated by the Lord, but he is a friend to the upright.

He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.

The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, neither faint when thou are rebuked of him.

Cold waters to the fainting soul, and a good message from a land far off.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart is not with you.

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; it is known even in the heart of fools.
