Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man

Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away.

He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.

A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth.

Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.

Fair words are not to be looked for from a foolish man, much less are false lips in a ruler.

When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame.

Material comfort is not good for the foolish; much less for a servant to be put over rulers.

So loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man.
