My son, do not walk in the way with them! Keep back your foot from their path,

Do not say to your neighbor, Go and come back again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it beside you:

he has taken a bag of silver with him and will come home at the day of the full moon.

In the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him who is without understanding.

In the multitude of words, sin is not lacking; but he who holds back his lips is wise.

A just weight and balance are Jehovah's; all the weights of the bag are His work.

Many will beg the favor of a ruler, and all are friends to a man who gives gifts.

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

The lazy one will not plow; after the autumn he shall beg in harvest and have nothing.

Deliver those being taken to death, and those stumbling to be killed, unless you hold back.

A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it; and he who rolls a stone, it will turn back to him.

The eye that mocks at his father and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
