And a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good:
And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent:
And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:
But the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,
And addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath:
But grievous words stir up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
Beholding the evil and the good.
4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 A fool despiseth his father’s instruction:
But he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure:
But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge:
But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD:
But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD:
But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house:
But the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

Proverbs 12:1 A wise son heareth his father’s instruction:
But a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:
But the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
But he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing:
But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Proverbs 12:13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips:
But the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth:
And the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

Proverbs 11:9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
But through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:
And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour:
But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
13 A talebearer revealeth secrets:
But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

Proverbs 10:13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found…

Proverbs 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house,
She hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;
She hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth
Upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread,
And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live;
And go in the way of understanding.

Proverbs 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver;
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
And the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:
I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me;
And those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me;
Yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
And my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
And I will fill their treasures.
