These six things the Lord hates;
Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:

But when he is found, he must repay seven times [what he stole];
He must give all the property of his house [if necessary to meet his fine].

Wisdom has built her [spacious and sufficient] house;
She has hewn out and set up her seven pillars.

For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.

The lazy person is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven [sensible] men who can give a discreet answer.

When he speaks graciously and kindly [to conceal his malice], do not trust him,
For seven abominations are in his heart.
