Proverbs Of Solomon

The prospect of the righteous is joy,
But the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.

The righteous will never be uprooted,
But the wicked will not remain in the land.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
But with humility comes wisdom.

Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death.

When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes;
All he expected from his power comes to nothing.

The righteous man is rescued from trouble,
And it comes on the wicked instead.

A gossip betrays a confidence,
But a trustworthy man keeps a secret.

A kind-hearted woman gains respect,
But ruthless men gain only wealth.

A kind man benefits himself,
But a cruel man brings trouble on himself.

The truly righteous man attains life,
But he who pursues evil goes to his death.
