To acquire wisdom is to love yourself; people who cherish understanding will prosper. | One who gets wisdom loves his own soul; One who keeps understanding will find good. |
Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife. | House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord. |
|
Keep the commandments and keep your life; despising them leads to death. | One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But one who is careless of conduct will die. |
You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. | Many plans are in a person’s heart, But the advice of the Lord will stand. |
Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest. | What is desirable in a person is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor person than a liar. |
