Entrust everything that you do to the Lord, and your plans will turn out to be successful. | Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. |
Trust wholeheartedly in the Lord rather than relying on your own intelligence. In everything you do, acknowledge him, and he will see that your paths are straight. | Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. |
Do not let kindness and fidelity leave you; fasten them around your neck and inscribe them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will gain favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. | Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people. |
One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship, but he who divulges it separates good friends. | One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend. |
Guard your heart with all possible vigilance, for from it flow the wellsprings of life. | Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. |
Train a child in the way he should go, and he will not deviate from it, even in old age. | Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray. |
A generous person will be enriched; he who refreshes others will also be refreshed. | A generous person will be enriched, and one who gives water will get water. |
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor too. | Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life and honor. |
Just as water reflects one’s face, so does one human heart reflect another. | Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another. |
A true friend is one at all times, and a brother is born to render help in time of need. | A friend loves at all times, and kinsfolk are born to share adversity. |
