- It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble. - Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility. - Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death. - He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good. - The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility. - Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die. - Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
But he who hates correction is stupid. - The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the lazy man will be put to forced labor. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem. - Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase. - Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls. - Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
But counselors of peace have joy. - One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination. - Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. - A talebearer reveals secrets,
But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter. - Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. - A fool despises his father’s instruction,
But he who receives correction is prudent. - A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are punished. - Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. - The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself. - In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise. - He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly. - He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,
But he who is impulsive exalts folly. - He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
