- 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.

- Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches me.
- A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, The naive proceed and pay the penalty.
- Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
- He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be reckoned a curse to him.
- A constant dripping on a day of steady rain And a contentious woman are alike;
