They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

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

“Come, eat my bread,
and drink the wine I have mixed.

“Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten secretly is tasty!”

Don’t eat a stingy person’s bread,
and don’t desire his choice food,

A ruler can be persuaded through patience,
and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

It is not good to show partiality—
yet a man may sin for a piece of bread.
