Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. - A perverse man sows strife,
And a whisperer separates the best of friends. - He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. - 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. - A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his own heart. - A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows. - The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the inmost body. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous run to it and are safe. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem. - Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And 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,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. - He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord. - A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good. - Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the Lord. - He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who is careless of his ways will die. - There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand. - What is desired in a man is kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar. - It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel.
