The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!
He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters.
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
