and the good.

reproof is prudent.

the foolish doeth not so.

a merry heart hath a continual feast.

and trouble therewith.
- 15:17

anger appeaseth strife.
- 15:19

in due season, how good is it!

of the wicked poureth out evil things.

of the righteous.
- 15:30
- The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report
maketh the bones fat.

honour is humility.
