|
|
|
2
|
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. |
|
|
|
3
|
When the wicked cometh, cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. |
|
|

|
|
|
6
|
A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
|
|
|
7

A fool's mouth his destruction, and his lips the snare of his soul. |
|
|
|
8
|
The words of a talebearer as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. |
|
|
|
9

|
|
|
11

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. |

|
|
|
18
|
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. |

|
|
|
20
|
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. |
|
|
|
21
|
Death and life in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. |
|
|
|
22

|
|
|
24
|
A man friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend sticketh closer than a brother. |
