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

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

When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you,

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and when he stumbles do not let your heart rejoice,

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.

Don’t set foot too frequently in your neighbor’s house, lest he become weary of you and hate you.

Like cold water to a weary person, so is good news from a distant land.

It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable for people to seek their own glory.

Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you yourself also be like him.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

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

Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

Like a bird that wanders from its nest, so is a person who wanders from his home.

A fool lets fly with all his temper, but a wise person keeps it back.

There are three things that are too wonderful for me, four that I do not understand:

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

There are three things that are magnificent in their step, four things that move about magnificently:

If you have done foolishly by exalting yourself or if you have planned evil, put your hand over your mouth!

She also gets up while it is still night, and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants.

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.
