| Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. | Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. |
| Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. | Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! |
|
| He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. | Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the 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 a time of adversity. |
| A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. | A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed 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 fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. |
