'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 A wise son gathereth in summer; but a son that doeth shamefully sleepeth in harvest.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 The memory of the righteous shall be for a blessing; but the name of the wicked shall rot.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; and a prating fool shall fall.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; but the mouth of the wicked concealeth violence.

'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

'"`UNIQ--named-0000000E-QINU`"'15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruin of the poor is their poverty.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000011-QINU`"'18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; and he that uttereth a slander is a fool.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000012-QINU`"'19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000013-QINU`"'20 The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth.
