Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men:

Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not whither.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful hand shall be under tribute.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes.

The sluggard will not plough by reason of the winter; he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

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

Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;

under an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.
