3
He that keeps his mouth keeps his life:
but he that opens his lips often shall have calamity.
4
The soul of the sluggard desires, and attains nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5
The righteous
man hates lying: but the wicked
man makes himself loathsome, and abominable.
6
Righteousness keeps the one of
the perfect way: but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7
There are
those that make themselves rich, yet
have nothing:
there are those that make themselves poor, yet
have great riches.
8
The redemption of a man’s life
is his riches: but the poor does not hear rebuke.
9
The light of the righteous shall rejoice: but the fire of the wicked shall be put out.
10
Pride shall certainly give birth to contention: but with the well advised
is wisdom.
11
The riches of vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labour shall increase.
12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but
when the desire
is fulfilled,
it is a tree of life.
13
Whosoever despises the word shall perish by it: but he that fears the commandment shall be rewarded.
