- A person’s gift makes room for him
And brings him before great people. - 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 person of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - One who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
One who keeps understanding will find good. - House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the Lord. - One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But one who is careless of conduct will die. - Many plans are in a person’s heart,
But the advice of the Lord will stand. - What is desirable in a person is his kindness,
And it is better to be a poor person than a liar. - Avoiding strife is an honor for a person,
But any fool will quarrel. - It is a trap for a person to say carelessly, “It is holy!”
And after the vows to make inquiry. - Every person’s way is right in his own eyes,
But the Lord examines the hearts. - To do righteousness and justice
Is preferred by the Lord more than sacrifice. - One who pursues righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness, and honor. - All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back. - A good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold. - The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor, and life. - Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he grows older he will not abandon it. - The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. - Do not weary yourself to gain wealth;
Stop dwelling on it. - When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. - My son, if your heart is wise,
My own heart also will be glad. - The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice,
And he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. - Know that wisdom is the same for your soul;
If you find it, then there will be a future,
And your hope will not be cut off. - Like a city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person who has no self-control over his spirit.
