- Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
- The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
- It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
- The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
- Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

- Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, And whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.
- The terror of a king is like the growling of a lion; He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
- Keeping away from strife is an honor for a man, But any fool will quarrel.
- The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.
- A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out.

- Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
- The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
- A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
- Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
|
- Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy man?
- A righteous man who walks in his integrity-- How blessed are his sons after him.
- A king who sits on the throne of justice Disperses all evil with his eyes.
- Who can say, "I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin"?
