House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
But a wife who has insight is from Yahweh.

He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who despises his way will die.

The fear of Yahweh leads to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, not visited by evil.

The name of Yahweh is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is set securely on high.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing
And obtains favor from Yahweh.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

All the ways of a man are pure in his own sight,
But Yahweh weighs the motives.
Commit your works to Yahweh
And your plans will be established.

Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
He who considers the word will find good,
And how blessed is he who trusts in Yahweh.

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise makes knowledge look good,
But the mouth of fools pours forth folly.
The eyes of Yahweh are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good.
•••

The fear of Yahweh is the discipline leading to wisdom,
And before glory comes humility.

In the fear of Yahweh there is strong security,
And his children will have refuge.
The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life,
To turn aside from the snares of death.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

In the path of righteousness is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.

When it goes well with the righteous, the city exults,
And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
By the blessing of the upright a city is raised up,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

thus says Yahweh of hosts, “After glory He has sent Me against the nations which have taken you as spoil, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be spoil for their slaves. Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me. Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares Yahweh. “And many nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me to you. Then Yahweh will inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem.
“Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for He is aroused from His holy habitation.”
