- Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - A perverse person spreads strife,
and a whisperer separates close friends. - One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city. - Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,
and the glory of children is their parents. - Fine speech is not becoming to a fool;
still less is false speech to a ruler. - One who forgives an affront fosters friendship,
but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend. - A friend loves at all times,
and kinsfolk are born to share adversity. - A cheerful heart is a good medicine,
but a downcast spirit dries up the bones. - Even fools who keep silent are considered wise;
when they close their lips, they are deemed intelligent. - A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing personal opinion. - A fool's lips bring strife,
and a fool's mouth invites a flogging. - The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body. - The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run into it and are safe. - The wealth of the rich is their strong city;
in their imagination it is like a high wall. - Before destruction one's heart is haughty,
but humility goes before honor. - A gift opens doors;
it gives access to the great. - Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits. - He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
and obtains favor from the Lord. - Some friends play at friendship
but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. - To get wisdom is to love oneself;
to keep understanding is to prosper. - House and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. - Those who keep the commandment will live;
those who are heedless of their ways will die. - The human mind may devise many plans,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established. - What is desirable in a person is loyalty,
and it is better to be poor than a liar. - It is honorable to refrain from strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.
