2A wise tongue commendeth knowledge, a foolish mouth babbleth out nothing but foolishness.

7A wise mouth poureth out knowledge, but the heart of the foolish doth not so.
8The LORD abhorreth the sacrifice of the ungodly, but the prayer of the righteous is acceptable to him.
9The way of the ungodly is an abomination unto the LORD, but who so followeth righteousness, him he loveth.
10He that forsaketh the right street, shall be sore punished: and who so hateth correction, falleth into death.
11The hell with her pain is known to the LORD, how much more then the hearts of men?
12A scornful body loveth not one that rebuketh him, neither will he come among the wise.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance, but an unquiet mind maketh it heavy.
14A wise heart will seek after knowledge, but the mouth of fools meddle with foolishness.
15All the days of the poor are miserable, but a quiet heart is as a continual feast.
16Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure, for they are not without sorrow.
17Better is a mess of potage with love, than a fat ox with evil will.
18An angry man stirreth up strife, but he that is patient stilleth discord.
19The way of the slothful is full of thorns, but the street of the righteous is well cleansed.
20A wise son maketh a glad father, but an undiscreet body shameth his mother.
21A fool rejoiceth in foolish things, but a wise man looketh well to his own goings.
22Unadvised thoughts shall come to naught, but where as are men that can give counsel, there is steadfastness.
23O how joyful a thing is it, a man to give a convenient answer? O how pleasant is a word spoken in due season.
24The way of life leadeth unto heaven, that a man should beware of hell beneath.
25The LORD will break down the house of the proud, but he shall make fast the borders of the widow.
26The LORD abhorreth the imaginations of the wicked, but pure words are pleasant to him.
27The covetous man rooteth(wrutteth) up his own house, but who so hateth rewards, shall live.
28A righteous man museth in his mind how to do good, but the mind of the ungodly imagineth, how he may do harm.
29The LORD is far from the ungodly, but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30Like as the clearness of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, so doth a good name feed the bones.
31The ear that harkeneth unto wholesome warning, and enclineth thereto, shall dwell among the wise.
32He that refuseth to be reformed, despiseth his own soul: but he that submitteth himself to correction, is wise.
33The fear of the LORD is the right science of wisdom, and lowliness goeth before honour.
