- Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. - A perverse person spreads strife,
And a slanderer separates close friends. - One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And one who rules his spirit, than one who captures a city. - Grandchildren are the crown of the old,
And the glory of sons is their fathers. - Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are lying lips to a prince. - One who conceals an offense seeks love,
But one who repeats a matter separates close friends. - A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity. - A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones. - Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent. - A fool does not delight in understanding,
But in revealing his own mind. - A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth invites beatings. - The words of a gossiper are like dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts of the body. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe. - A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination. - Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes before honor. - 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.
