But mercy and good faith are for the designers of good. +In all hard work there is profit, but talk only makes a man poor. +Their wisdom is a crown to the wise, but their foolish behaviour is round the head of the unwise. +A true witness is the saviour of lives; but he who says false things is a cause of deceit. +For him in whose heart is the fear of the Lord there is strong hope: and his children will have a safe place. +The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, by which one may be turned from the nets of death. +A king's glory is in the number of his people: and for need of people a ruler may come to destruction. +He who is slow to be angry has great good sense; but he whose spirit is over-quick gives support to what is foolish. +A quiet mind is the life of the body, but envy is a disease in the bones. +He who is hard on the poor puts shame on his Maker; but he who has mercy on those who are in need gives him honour. +The sinner is overturned in his evil-doing, but the upright man has hope in his righteousness. +Wisdom has her resting-place in the mind of the wise, but she is not seen among the foolish. +By righteousness a nation is lifted up, but sin is a cause of shame to the peoples. +The king has pleasure in a servant who does wisely, but his wrath is against him who is a cause of shame. -- cgit v1.2.3
