Like a city that is broken down and without a wall, so is a person who cannot control his temper.

It has no commander, overseer, or ruler,

locusts have no king, but they all go forward by ranks;

For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a journey of some distance.

All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing in them twisted or crooked.

There is no wisdom and there is no understanding, and there is no counsel against the Lord.

If you do not have enough to pay, your bed will be taken right out from under you!

As the heaven is high and the earth is deep so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

Like cloudy skies and wind that produce no rain, so is the one who boasts of a gift not given.

The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses.

Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?

The one who robs his father and mother and says, “There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys.
