- Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness subverts the sinner.
- There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing; Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth.
- The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke.
- The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked goes out.
- Through insolence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.

- A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat.
- The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
- Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
