1:17 Surely it is futile to spread a net
in plain sight of any bird,
2:8 to guard the paths of the righteous
and to protect the way of his pious ones.
3:35 The wise inherit honor,
but he holds fools up to public contempt.
8:31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth,
and delighting in its people.
10:7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the reputation of the wicked will rot.
10:24 What the wicked fears will come on him;
what the righteous desire will be granted.
10:28 The hope of the righteous is joy,
but the expectation of the wicked will remain unfulfilled.
13:10 With pride comes only contention,
but wisdom is with the well-advised.
14:13 Even in laughter the heart may ache,
and the end of joy may be grief.
20:15 There is gold, and an abundance of rubies,
but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel.
20:18 Plans are established by counsel,
so make war with guidance.
23:3 Do not crave that ruler’s delicacies,
for that food is deceptive.
24:9 A foolish scheme is sin,
and the scorner is an abomination to people.
24:20 for the evil person has no future,
and the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
