| Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. | Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. |
| The hand of the diligent will rule, while the lazy will be put to forced labor. | The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. |
| Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up. | Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. |
