Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.Pro 28:6
It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge,
nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.Pro 6:18

his heart rages against the LORD.Jas 1:13

A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who pours out lies shall not go free.Deu 19:19
Many will entreat the favour of a ruler,
and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
All the relatives of the poor shun him;
how much more do his friends avoid him!
He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.
He who keeps understanding shall find good.
A false witness shall not be unpunished.
He who utters lies shall perish.Pro 21:28
Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.Pro 30:21

but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.Pro 3:21; Luk 11:28
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
he will reward him.Psa 41:1; Mat 10:42; Mat 25:40
Discipline your son, for there is hope;
don’t be a willing party to his death.Pro 13:24; Pro 23:13
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
that you may be wise in your latter end.
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.Job 23:13; Pro 16:1
That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
A poor man is better than a liar.

he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.Pro 21:11

you will stray from the words of knowledge.
A corrupt witness mocks justice,
and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.Job 15:16
Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
and beatings for the backs of fools.
