The Lord abhors every arrogant person; rest assured that they will not go unpunished.

It is better for a person to meet a mother bear being robbed of her cubs, than to encounter a fool in his folly.

Starting a quarrel is like letting out water; stop it before strife breaks out!

Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.

Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, but the eyes of a fool run to the ends of the earth.

A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him.

The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down into the person’s innermost being.

Many people entreat the favor of a generous person, and everyone is the friend of the person who gives gifts.

A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

What is desirable for a person is to show loyal love, and a poor person is better than a liar.

Diverse weights and diverse measures – the Lord abhors both of them.

It is a snare for a person to rashly cry, “Holy!” and only afterward to consider what he has vowed.

Do not exploit a poor person because he is poor and do not crush the needy in court,

Do not make friends with an angry person, and do not associate with a wrathful person,

because drunkards and gluttons become impoverished, and drowsiness clothes them with rags.

Indeed, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.

A wise warrior is strong, and a man of knowledge makes his strength stronger;

Although a righteous person may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked will be brought down by calamity.

and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber.”

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