4
The end of temperance is the dread of the Lord; riches, and glory, and life. (The fruit of humility is the fear of the Lord/is reverence for the Lord; along with riches, and glory, and life.)
5
Armours and swords be in the way of a wayward man; but the keeper of his soul goeth away far from those. (Arms, or weapons, and swords be on the way of the wayward; but he who keepeth his life safe goeth far away from them.)
6
It is a proverb, A young waxing man after his way, and when he hath waxed eld, he shall not go away from it. (Here is a proverb: If a young person is brought up in the right way, when he hath grown older, he shall not go away from it.)
7
A rich man commandeth to poor men; and he that taketh borrowing, is servant of the lender.
8
He that soweth wickedness shall reap evils; and the rod of his ire shall be ended.
9
He that is ready to (give) mercy shall be blessed; for (out) of his loaves he gave (some) to a poor man.
10
Cast thou out a scorner, and strife shall go out with him; and causes and despisings shall cease.
11
He that loveth the cleanness of heart, shall have the king (for) a friend, for the grace of his lips (for the eloquence of his words).
12
The eyes of the Lord keep knowing; and the words of a wicked man be deceived. (The eyes of the Lord keep knowledge safe; but the words of the wicked be deceitful.)
13
A slow man shall say (A lazy person shall say), A lion is withoutforth; I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.
14
The mouth of an alien woman is a deep ditch; he to whom the Lord is wroth shall fall into it. (The mouth of a woman whom thou hast been intimate with, but who is not thy wife, is a deep ditch; he to whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.)
