The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
