2 Roaring like the lion [is the] dreaded anger of a king; he who provokes him forfeits his life.
3 [It is] honorable for the man to refrain from strife, but every fool will be quick to quarrel.
4 The lazy person will not plow in season; he will expect at the harvest, but there [will be] nothing.
5 Deep waters [are like] purpose in the heart of a man, and a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Many a person will proclaim his loyalty [for] himself, but a man [who is] trustworthy, who can find?
11 Even by his acts, a {young man} will make himself known, whether his acts are pure and upright.
16 Take his garment, for he has given security [to] a stranger, and on behalf of a foreigner--take it as pledge.
17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet for the man, but afterward, his mouth will be filled [with] gravel.
19 He reveals a secret, he who walks [about with] gossip, and do not associate with a babbler's lips.
20 He who curses his father and his mother, his lamp will be extinguished {in the midst of darkness}.
23 An abomination of Yahweh [is] {a stone and a weight}, and scales of falsehood are not good.
24 [Away] from Yahweh are the steps of a strong man, and how will humankind understand his ways?
28 Loyalty and faithfulness will preserve a king, and he is upheld with the righteousness of his throne.
