For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.

Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.

My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

If thou hast not wherewith to pay, Why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.

So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

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

A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.

Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
