3
As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts.
4
The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips.
5
He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his maker: and he that rejoiceth at another man’s ruin, shall not be unpunished.
6
Children’s children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
7
Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.
8
The expectation of him that expecteth is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.
9
He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
10
A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
11
An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
12
It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.
13
He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
