| Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. | Grandchildren are the crown of the old, And the glory of sons is their fathers. |
| Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool, Much less are lying lips to a prince. |

| He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. | One who conceals an offense seeks love, But one who repeats a matter separates close friends. |
| A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. | A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. |
| A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. |
| Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. | Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent. |
