Take heed unto knowledge, O ye ignorant; be wise in heart, O ye fools.

Give a discrete man but an occasion, and he will be the wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase.

To take heed unto the chastening of nurture, is the way of life; but he that refuseth to be reformed, deceiveth himself.

Where no good counsel is, there the people decay; but whereas are many that can give counsel, there is wealth.

The wisdom of him that hath understanding is to take heed unto his way; but the foolishness of the unwise deceiveth.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; and he will teach them that are unlearned.

For great wrath bringeth harm; therefore let him go, and so mayest thou teach him more nurture.

If thou smitest a scornful person, the ignorant shall take better heed; and if thou reprovest one that hath understanding, he will be the wiser.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and take a pledge of him for the unknown man's sake.

When the scornful is punished, the ignorant take the better heed; and when a wise man is warned, he will receive the more understanding.

for if thou hast nothing to pay, they shall take away thy bed from under thee.

Take not over great travail and labour to be rich, beware of such a purpose.
