- If you find honey, eat just enough-- too much of it, and you will vomit.
- Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and he will hate you.
- Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor.
- Like a bad tooth or a lame foot is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.
- Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

- Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
- Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
- A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
- Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
- As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
