- Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.
- The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
- Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
- If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.
- A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day;
|
- My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
- A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
- Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
- He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
- A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
