For a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread,
but an adulteress goes after a precious life.

The one who lives with integrity is righteous;
his children who come after him will be happy.

“It’s worthless, it’s worthless!” the buyer says,
but after he is on his way, he gloats.

It is not good to eat too much honey
or to seek glory after glory.

Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and whoever looks after his master will be honored.

One who becomes stiff-necked,
after many reprimands
will be shattered instantly—
beyond recovery.
