“The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, King of Israel:”

“Whoever leads the upright along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.”

“Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?”

“As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.”

“Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence, and do not claim a place among his great men;”

“If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?”

“When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,”

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”

“A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.”

“Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.”
