He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy {is} he. {handleth...: or, understandeth a matter}

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. {obtain: Heb. bring forth}

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

She {is} a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy {is every one} that retaineth her.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: {and} in keeping of them {there is} great reward.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Wherefore {is there} a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing {he hath} no heart {to it}?

For {it is} a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. {within...: Heb. in thy belly}

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget {it} not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy {is} he. {handleth...: or, understandeth a matter}

Wise {men} lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish {is} near destruction.
