Proverbs

There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty;
if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.

It is to a man's honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.

Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Listen to advice and accept instruction,
and in the end you will be wise.

The way of the guilty is devious,
but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

Commit your works to the LORD,
And your thoughts will be established.

Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.

There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

Discipline your son, for in that there is hope;
do not be a willing party to his death.

A corrupt witness mocks at justice,
and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.

Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
have the wisdom to show restraint.
