The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

The one whose appetite is satisfied loathes honey, but to the hungry mouth every bitter thing is sweet.

but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they ambush their own lives!

So they will give life to you, and grace to adorn your neck.

Laziness brings on a deep sleep, and the idle person will go hungry.

The one who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his life from troubles.

lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.

If you strike him with the rod, you will deliver him from death.

Discipline your child, and he will give you rest; he will bring you happiness.

Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those who are bitterly distressed;

For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you.

There are six things that the Lord hates, even seven things that are an abomination to him:

A man who commits adultery with a woman lacks wisdom, whoever does it destroys his own life.

But the one who does not find me brings harm to himself; all who hate me love death.”

The Lord satisfies the appetite of the righteous, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

A kind person benefits himself, but a cruel person brings himself trouble.

A generous person will be enriched, and the one who provides water for others will himself be satisfied.

The fruit of the righteous is like a tree producing life, and the one who wins souls is wise.

A righteous person cares for the life of his animal, but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel.

From the fruit of his speech a person eats good things, but the faithless desire the fruit of violence.
