  2. In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

  3. The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

  4. A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

  5. In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

  6. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

  7. In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

  8. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

  9. A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

  10. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

  11. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
