But righteousness delivereth from death.Pro 11:4; Job 20:20

But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.Pro 21:5

But he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Blessings are upon the head of the righteous;

But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

The memory of the righteous is blessed;

But the name of the wicked shall rot.Psa 112:6; Mat 26:13

The wise in heart will receive commandments;

But a prating fool shall fall.Psa 141:5; Jas 3:17

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life;

But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Hatred stirreth up strifes;

But love covereth all transgressions.1Pe 4:8; 1Co 3:4

In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found;

But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

Wise men lay up knowledge;

But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.Pro 18:10

The labor of the righteous tendeth to life;

The increase of the wicked, to sin.

He is in the way of life that heedeth correction;

But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.Pro 12:1

He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;

And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;

But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.Ecc 10:14

The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver:

The heart of the wicked is little worth.

The lips of the righteous feed many;

But the foolish die for lack of understanding.Mat 12:35

The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich;

And he addeth no sorrow therewith.

It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness;

And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him;

And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more;

But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.Psa 37:36

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,

So is the sluggard to them that send him.

The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days;

But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness;

But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.Job 8:13; Psa 112:10

The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright;

But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

The righteous shall never be removed;

But the wicked shall not dwell in the land.

The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom;

But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;

But the mouth of the wicked speaketh perverseness.
