Proverbs 19:5-15

5 testis falsus non erit inpunitus et qui mendacia loquitur non effugiet

6 multi colunt personam potentis et amici sunt dona tribuenti

7 fratres hominis pauperis oderunt eum insuper et amici procul recesserunt ab eo qui tantum verba sectatur nihil habebit

8 qui autem possessor est mentis diligit animam suam et custos prudentiae inveniet bona

9 testis falsus non erit inpunitus et qui loquitur mendacia peribit

10 non decent stultum deliciae nec servum dominari principibus

11 doctrina viri per patientiam noscitur et gloria eius est iniqua praetergredi

12 sicut fremitus leonis ita et regis ira et sicut ros super herbam ita hilaritas eius

13 dolor patris filius stultus et tecta iugiter perstillantia litigiosa mulier

14 domus et divitiae dantur a patribus a Domino autem proprie uxor prudens

15 pigredo inmittit soporem et anima dissoluta esuriet
