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

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.”

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

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

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

The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked lacks food.

The heart knows its own bitterness, and with its joy no one else can share.

The one who refuses correction despises himself, but whoever hears reproof acquires understanding.

The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil; the one who guards his way safeguards his life.

The mouth of a fool is his ruin, and his lips are a snare for his life.

The one who acquires wisdom loves himself; the one who preserves understanding will prosper.

The one who obeys commandments guards his life; the one who despises his ways will die.

The king’s terrifying anger is like the roar of a lion; whoever provokes him sins against himself.

Thorns and snares are in the path of the perverse, but the one who guards himself keeps far from them.

Bloodthirsty people hate someone with integrity; as for the upright, they seek his life.

People do not despise a thief when he steals to fulfill his need when he is hungry.

Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy; he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk.
