- 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.

- 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"?
