The Bible. The Christian Old Testament. Book of Proverbs of Solomon

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
<...> and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
