Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the wicked when it cometh.

A stone of grace is the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them are an abomination to Jehovah.

An abomination to Jehovah are a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit are not good.

And lo, it hath gone up -- all of it -- thorns! Covered its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken down.

As one who is binding a stone in a sling, So is he who is giving honour to a fool.

Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth.

A stone is heavy, and the sand is heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both.
