4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
16 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
