Misc Proverbs
Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.
A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,
yet their heart rages against the Lord.
The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed
The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.
A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
who winks maliciously with his eye,
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,
who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up conflict.
Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;
he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
With me are riches and honor,
enduring wealth and prosperity.
I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice,
bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
The name of the righteous is used in blessings,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
The wise in heart accept commands,
but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs.
The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
The wages of the righteous is life,
but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
The lips of the righteous nourish many,
but fools die for lack of sense.
A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes,
but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.
What the wicked dread will overtake them;
what the righteous desire will be granted.
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but the righteous stand firm forever.
The fear of the Lord adds length to life,
but the years of the wicked are cut short.
The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
