Since I called out and you refused,
extended my hand and no one paid attention,

Long life is in her right hand;
in her left, riches and honor.

The diligent hand will rule,
but laziness will lead to forced labor.

Why does a fool have money in his hand
with no intention of buying wisdom?

The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth.

A king’s heart is like streams of water in the Lord’s hand:
He directs it wherever He chooses.

The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand
cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

A proverb in the mouth of a fool
is like lame legs that hang limp.

A proverb in the mouth of a fool
is like a stick with thorns,
brandished by the hand of a drunkard.

The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he is too weary to bring it to his mouth.

The one who controls her controls the wind
and grasps oil with his right hand.

If you have been foolish by exalting yourself
or if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand over your mouth.
