The sacrifice of an evil person is detestable, especially when it is offered with wrong motives.

A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways.

Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work.

Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.

He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.

A secret gift calms anger; a bribe under the table pacifies fury.

Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.

The Righteous One knows what is going on in the homes of the wicked; he will bring disaster on them.

With narrowed eyes, people plot evil; with a smirk, they plan their mischief.

Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.
