1
My son hast thou sinned do so no more but ask pardon for thy former sins
2
Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent for if thou comest too near it it will bite thee the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion slaying the souls of men
3
All iniquity is as a two edged sword the wounds whereof cannot be healed
4
To terrify and do wrong will waste riches thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate
5
A prayer out of a p r man’s mouth reacheth to the ears of God and his judgment cometh speedily
6
He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart
7
An eloquent man is known far and near but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth
8
He that buildeth his house with ot r men’s money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial
9
The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them
10
The way of sinners is made plain with stones but at the end thereof is the pit of hell
11
He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom
12
He that is not wise will not be taught but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness
13
The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life
14
The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth
15
If a skilful man hear a wise word he will commend it and add unto it but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it it displeaseth him and he casteth it behind his back
16
The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise
17
They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation and they shall ponder his words in their heart
18
As is a house that is destroyed so is wisdom to a fool and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense
19
Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet and like manacles on the right hand
20
A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter but a wise man doth scarce smile a little
21
Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold and like a bracelet upon his right arm
22
A fool h man’s foot is soon in his ne hbour’s house but a man of experience is ashamed of him
23
A fool will peep in at the door into the house but he that is well nurtured will stand without
24
It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace
25
The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance
26
The heart of fools is in their mouth but the mouth of the wise is in their heart
27
When the ungodly curseth Satan he curseth his own soul
28
A whisperer defileth his own soul and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth
