These wise and true sayings are taken from the book in the Bible called "Proverbs." Some of them are said to have been written by Solomon, the wise king of Israel.
My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.
A wise son maketh a glad father: But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich: And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
A false balance is an abomination to the Lord: But a just weight is His delight.
