He that hath knowledge spareth his words. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
A man's heart deviseth his way, but the Lord directeth his footsteps
… a righteous man hateth lying
… “The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness”
“These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”
“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth, do I hate.”
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
