- He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.
- The wicked man desires the booty of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields fruit.
- An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will escape from trouble.
- A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a man's hands will return to him.
- The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.
|
- A fool's anger is known at once, But a prudent man conceals dishonor.
- He who speaks truth tells what is right, But a false witness, deceit.
- There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
- Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.
- Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy.
