- The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
- When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
- The righteous one considers the house of the wicked, Turning the wicked to ruin.
- He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered.
- A gift in secret subdues anger, And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.

- The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
- When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
- The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
- Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
- A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.
