- Children’s children are the crown of old men,
And the glory of children is their father. - Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,
Much less lying lips to a prince. - He who covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter separates friends. - A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity. - A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones. - Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
