For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you.

Do not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of those who are evil.

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways -- do not wander into her pathways;

The lips of a fool enter into strife, and his mouth invites a flogging.

If you do not have enough to pay, your bed will be taken right out from under you!

Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not enter your brother's house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away.

Under three things the earth trembles, and under four things it cannot bear up:

under a servant who becomes king, under a fool who is stuffed with food,

under an unloved woman who is married, and under a female servant who dispossesses her mistress.
