Proverbs

¹⁰A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. ¹¹He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding. ¹²The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. ¹³In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man: but the righteous shall come out of trouble. ¹⁴A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. ¹⁵The way of the foolish is right in his own eyes: but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel. ¹⁶A fool's vexation is presently known: but a prudent man concealeth shame.
