Proverbs

29:16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.

10:9 He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known.

10:23-25 To do evil is like sport to a fool, But a man of understanding has wisdom. 24 The fear of the wicked will come upon him, And the desire of the righteous will be granted. 25 When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

6:9-11 How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep; 11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

3:34-35 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble. 35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools.

9:7 He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.

1:19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.

3:7-8 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

29:7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.

30:5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
