His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
