If you faint in the day of trouble, your strength is small!

for jealousy kindles a husband’s rage, and he will not show mercy when he takes revenge.

Wealth does not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.

A fool’s annoyance is known at once, but the prudent overlooks an insult.

Like a bad tooth or a foot out of joint, so is confidence in an unfaithful person at the time of trouble.

A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike.

Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him, for he refreshes the heart of his masters.

Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not enter your brother’s house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away.
