The Martyrdom of Saint Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna
PolycMartyr
[1]The king's heart is in the hand of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever He will. [No book]
[2]Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ weigheth the hearts. [No book]
[3]To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ than sacrifice. [No book]
[4]A haughty look, and a proud heart—the tillage of the wicked is sin. [No book]
[5]The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but every one that is hasty hasteth only to want. [No book]
[6]The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapour driven to and fro; they that seek them seek death. [No book]
[7]The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; because they refuse to do justly. [No book]
[8]The way of man is froward and strange; but as for the pure, his work is right. [No book]
[9]It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than in a house in common with contentious woman. [No book]
[10]The soul of the wicked desireth evil; his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. [No book]
[11]When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. [No book]
[12]The Righteous One considereth the house of the wicked; overthrowing the wicked to their ruin. [No book]
[13]Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be answered. [No book]
[14]A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath. [No book]
[15]To do justly is joy to the righteous, but ruin to the workers of iniquity. [No book]
[16]The man that strayeth out of the way of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the shades. [No book]
[17]He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. [No book]
[18]The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the faithless cometh in the stead of the upright. [No book]
[19]It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman. [No book]
[20]There is desirable treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swalloweth it up. [No book]
[21]He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, prosperity, and honour. [No book]
[22]A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and bringeth down the stronghold wherein it trusteth. [No book]
[23]Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. [No book]
[24]A proud and haughty man, scorner is his name, even he that dealeth in overbearing pride. [No book]
[25]The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. [No book]
[26]There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; but the righteous giveth and spareth not. [No book]
[27]Th sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more, when he bringeth it with the proceed wickedness? [No book]
[28]A false witness shall perish; but the man that obeyeth shall speak unchallenged. [No book]
[29]A wicked man hardeneth his face; but as for the upright, he looketh well to his way. [No book]
[30]There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [No book]
[31]The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but victory is of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [No book]
