¹⁴ Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a present destruction.

⁷ A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

⁸ The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a prating fool shall fall.

³ He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; `But' he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

¹⁰ He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall.

⁹ Give `instruction' to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

⁶ Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

³⁵ The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

²³ Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.

⁸ He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

¹⁵ The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

¹ He that separateth himself seeketh `his own' desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.

⁵ That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:
