2
From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous -- violence.
3
Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!
4
The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5
A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.
6
Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.
7
There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant.
8
The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.
9
The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
10
A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled [is] wisdom.
11
Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.
12
Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life [is] the coming desire.
