poureth out foolishness.

good.

breach in the spirit.

of the wicked is trouble.

doeth not so.

prayer of the upright is his delight.

him that followeth after righteousness.

hearts of the children of men?

the wise.

heart the spirit is broken.

mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

heart hath a continual feast.

hatred therewith.

the righteous is made plain.

understanding walketh uprightly.

counsellors they are established.

season, how good is it!

beneath.

the border of the widow.

righteous.

the bones fat.

is humility.
