| One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
| The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke. | The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. |

| Through overconfidence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel. | Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. |
| Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles, But one who gathers by labor increases it. | Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. |
| Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life. | Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. |
| One who walks with wise people will be wise, But a companion of fools will suffer harm. | He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. |
