The wise inherit honor, but the exaltation of fools is shame.

He who troubles his own house inherits the wind; and the fool is servant to the wise of heart.

O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

But we will prepare and do whatever goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our rulers, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and were well-off, and saw no evil.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your vain way of life received by tradition from your fathers,

The first thing about wisdom is: Get wisdom. And with all your getting, get understanding.

She shall bestow a wreath of grace upon your head; she shall give you a crown of glory.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he who leads souls is wise.

And the prudent shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever.

Hereafter, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all the ones loving His appearing.

and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
