Her husband is well-known in the city gate when he sits with the elders of the land.

Do not plot evil against your neighbor when he dwells by you unsuspectingly.

Train a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

When a country is rebellious it has many princes, but by someone who is discerning and knowledgeable order is maintained.

Do not say to your neighbor, “Go! Return tomorrow and I will give it,” when you have it with you at the time.

Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with abundant advisers they are established.

When you argue a case with your neighbor, do not reveal the secret of another person,

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

When I saw this, I gave careful consideration to it; I received instruction from what I saw:

When there is no guidance a nation falls, but there is success in the abundance of counselors.

When you gaze upon riches, they are gone, for they surely make wings for themselves, and fly off into the sky like an eagle!

You will say, “They have struck me, but I am not harmed! They beat me, but I did not know it! When will I awake? I will look for another drink.”

When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he!

When you find honey, eat only what is sufficient for you, lest you become stuffed with it and vomit it up.

under a servant who becomes king, under a fool who is stuffed with food,

Even a fool who remains silent is considered wise, and the one who holds his tongue is deemed discerning.

under an unloved woman who is married, and under a female servant who dispossesses her mistress.

Do not accuse anyone without legitimate cause, if he has not treated you wrongly.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.

Esteem her highly and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.
