Words and speechComfortDiscouragement and depression

2 De vises tunge fremmer kunnskap, men dårers munn utgyter dårskap.

3 Herrens øyne er overalt, de vokter de onde og de gode.

En lindrende tunge er et livets tre, men en vrang tunge knuser ånden.

5 En dåre forakter foreldres tukt, men den som tar imot tilrettevisning er klok.

6 Den rettferdiges hus har stor rikdom, men de ondes inntekt bringer ulykke.
