1 Samuel

Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
