He who cares to know cares to be set right,
but he who hates to be admonished is a stupid creature.
2A good-natured man has the goodwill of the Eternal,
but He passes sentence on malicious men.
3No man can hold his own by doing wrong,
but never shall the good man be uprooted.
4A good wife is an honour to her husband:
a shameless wife rots all his strength away.
5The aims of a good man are honourable:
the plans of a bad man are underhand.
6Knaves speak of secret bloodshed,
but men are helped by plans of honest men.
7When bad men are thrown down, they disappear:
a good man’s house stands firm.
8A man is praised as he shows insight:
a brainless creature is despised.
9Better a man of low rank, with a servant,
than one who makes a show and has to do his own work.
10A good man cares even for his beast,
but the bad man has a cruel heart.
11The man who works his farm has plenty of food;
a man of useless interests has no sense.
12Vice proves a net for vicious men,
but a good man’s root remains untouched.
13By sins of the lips bad men get into trouble:
good men get out of trouble.
14A man reaps the result of all his words,
and he must answer for his deeds.
15A fool is sure that his own way is right:
sensible men will listen to advice.
16A fool shows instantly that he is angry:
a prudent man ignores an insult.
17A man who gives true evidence furthers justice:
dishonest witnesses further injustice.
18A reckless tongue wounds like a sword,
but there is healing power in thoughtful words.
19Truth told endures:
a lie lasts only for a little while.
20Fraud is the aim of evil-minded men,
but those who plan the good of others prosper.
21Injustice is no pleasure to the good,
but evil men are full of all injustice.
22Liars are loathsome to the Eternal,
but the sincere are a delight to him.
23No cautious man blurts out all that he knows,
but a fool comes out with his folly.
24The diligent will get the upper hand,
but slothful men will end as serfs.
25Worry weighs a man down:
a kind word cheers him up.
26The good man gives a lead to his neighbour,
a bad man’s life will lead himself astray.
27The lazy man will not hunt game for himself:
a diligent man is a rare treasure.
28To live aright is the way to live for long:
wrongdoing is the road to death.
