- A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
- From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful have a craving for violence.
- He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
- The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
- The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.

- Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
- One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
- A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat.
- The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
