- A fool has no delight in understanding,
but only in revealing his own opinion. - A fool’s lips come into strife,
and his mouth invites beatings. - The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels:
they go down into a person’s innermost parts. - Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:
the righteous run to him, and are safe. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. - Before destruction the heart of man is proud,
but before honor is humility. - A man’s gift makes room for him,
and brings him before great men. - Death and life are in the power of the tongue;
those who love it will eat its fruit. - Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing,
and obtains favor of Yahweh. - A man of many companions may be ruined,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
