- Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty.
- There is a kind of man who curses his father And does not bless his mother.
- There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
- There is a kind--oh how lofty are his eyes! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
- There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords And his jaw teeth like knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth And the needy from among men.

- "Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will pay for it.
- "There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers;
- those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth;
- those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful;
- those whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth, the needy from among mankind.

- The leech has two daughters, "Give," "Give." There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say, "Enough":
- Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, "Enough."

- "The leech has two daughters. 'Give! Give!' they cry. "There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, 'Enough!':
- the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, 'Enough!'
