- 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.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.
