|---|---|---|---|
| A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. | |||
| From the fruit of his mouth a good man eats good, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence. | |||
| He who guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. | |||
| The soul of the sluggard craves, and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. | |||
| A righteous man hates falsehood, but a wicked man acts shamefully and disgracefully. | |||
| Righteousness guards him whose way is upright, but sin overthrows the wicked. | |||
| One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. | |||
| The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, but a poor man has no means of redemption. | |||
| The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out. | |||
| By insolence the heedless make strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom. | |||
| Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle, but he who gathers little by little will increase it. | |||
| Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. | |||
| He who despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who respects the commandment will be rewarded. | |||
| The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death. | |||
| Good sense wins favor, but the way of the faithless is their ruin. | |||
| In everything a prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly. | |||
| A bad messenger plunges men into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing. | |||
| Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction, but he who heeds reproof is honored. | |||
| A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul; but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools. | |||
| He who walks with wise men becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. | |||
| Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous. | |||
| A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous. | |||
| The fallow ground of the poor yields much food, but it is swept away through injustice. | |||
| He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. | |||
| The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked suffers want. | |||
