- He who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness and honor.
- A wise man scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
- He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
- "Proud," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names, Who acts with insolent pride.
- The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;
|
- He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
- A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
- Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
- Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
- The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
