That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning, And the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels;" 1.8. Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the teaching of thy mother;" 3.7. Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear the LORD, and depart from evil;" 3.11. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD, Neither spurn thou His correction;" 3.12. For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth." 3.13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that obtaineth understanding." 3.14. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, And the gain thereof than fine gold." 3.15. She is more precious than rubies; And all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her." 3.16. Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honour." 3.17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace." 3.18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her, And happy is every one that holdest her fast." 3.19. The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens." 3.20. By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew." 3.21. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion;" 3.22. So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck." 3.23. Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thou shalt not dash thy foot." 3.24. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet." 3.25. Be not afraid of sudden terror, Neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh;" 3.26. For the LORD will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being caught." 3.27. Withhold not good from him to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it. 3.28. Say not unto thy neighbour: ‘Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give’; when thou hast it by thee." 3.32. For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; But His counsel is with the upright." 3.34. If it concerneth the scorners, He scorneth them, But unto the humble He giveth grace." 4.4. And he taught me, and said unto me: ‘Let thy heart hold fast my words, Keep my commandments, and live;" 4.5. Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;" 4.17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence." 6.20. My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the teaching of thy mother;" 8.13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate." 8.18. Riches and honour are with me; Yea, enduring riches and righteousness." 9.5. 'Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled." 9.9. Give to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning." 13.14. The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death." 13.20. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it." 16.5. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; My hand upon it! he shall not be unpunished." 16.14. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death; But a wise man will pacify it." 16.21. The wise in heart is called a man of discernment; And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning." 17.28. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; And he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding." 18.15. The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge." 27.1. Boast not thyself of to- morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." 31.30. Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised."

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;" 15.4. In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honoureth them that fear the LORD; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;" 37.7. Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." 112.1. Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the LORD, That delighteth greatly in His commandments." 119.63. I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that observe Thy precepts."

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, And drink thy wine with a merry heart; For God hath already accepted thy works." 9.10. Whatsoever thy hand attaineth to do by thy strength, that do; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." 9.11. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." 9.12. For man also knoweth not his time; as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them." 11.2. Divide a portion into seven, yea, even into eight; For thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth." 11.5.
