If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.

Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

whereas thou hast now to give him. Intend no hurt unto thy neighbour, seeing he hopeth to dwell in rest by thee.

Yea, that thou mourn not at the last, when thou hast spent thy body and goods,

And hast said, 'How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,

My son, if thou be surety for thy neighbour, thou hast fastened thine hand with another man:

Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,

Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,

In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh with thee.

If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself, And thou hast scorned -- thyself bearest it.

A fool uttereth his wrath in all the haste, but a discreet man forgiveth wrong.

Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles,
But he who gathers gradually by [honest] labor will increase [his riches].

Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.

Patience is a token of wisdom; but wrath and hasty displeasure is a token of foolishness.

Also, without knowledge the soul is not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.

The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage,
But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.

for if thou hast nothing to pay, they shall take away thy bed from under thee.

Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!

And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou art a man of appetite.

Yea the morsels that thou hast eaten shalt thou parbreak and loose those sweet words.

And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast.

Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,

Even so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul, as soon as thou hast gotten it. And there is good hope; yea, thy hope shall not be in vain.

First, make up thy work that is without, and look well unto that which thou hast in the field, and then build thine house.

Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou hast enticed with thy lips.

Be not hasty to go to the law, lest thou knowest not what to do when thy neighbor hath confounded thee.

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a fool than of him!

He that is too hasty to praise his neighbour above measure, shall be taken as one that giveth him an evil report.

A faithful man aboundeth with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

Hast thou seen a man hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou hast been found false.

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay the hand upon thy mouth.

Many are the daughters who have done worthily, Thou hast gone up above them all.'
