Wine means mockery, liquor means brawling
there is no sense in reeling under drink.
2A king’s threat scares men, like a lion roaring;
he who provokes him is in danger.
3It does men honour to keep clear of strife:
a fool quarrels with everyone.
4In the cold season a lazy man will not plough
so he expects a crop in vain at harvest.
5A man’s mind may lie deep as water in a well
but a clever man will draw it from him.
6Many a person is called kind,
but a trustworthy man is a rare find.
7A blameless, upright man—
happy are the children who come after him!
8A monarch seated on the throne of justice
scatters all crime before him.
9Who can say, “I have made my heart clean,
I am pure and sinless”?
10Different weights and different measures,
the Eternal loathes them alike,
11Even a child is known by what he does,
as he behaves well or ill.
12The ear that hears, the eye that sees,
the Eternal made them both.
13Love not sleep, lest you fall into poverty:
waken, and you will have ample food.
14“Poor stuff! poor stuff!” a man says, as he buys
but when he leaves, he boasts about his bargain.
15Gold, wealth of rubies, jewels rare--
such are wise words.
16He has gone bail for a man?-- then seize him!
hold him to what he has pledged!
17Food won by fraud has a sweet taste,
but later on the mouth gets filled with gravel.
18Take counsel when you form a plan,
and have some policy when you make war.
19Talebearers let out secrets:
have nothing to do with a gossip.
20He who curses his father or his mother,
his lamp of life will go out in black darkness.
21Money made hurriedly at the start
turns out unblessed at the end.
22Never say, “I will revenge my wrongs”;
wait for the Eternal to help you.
23Different weights are loathsome to the Eternal;
a false balance is unfair.
24Man’s movements are controlled by the Eternal;
then how can any understand his life?
27Man’s conscience is the lamp of the Eternal,
flashing into his inmost soul.
25’Tis perilous to say rashly, “This is sacred!”
and then reconsider your vow.
26A wise king scatters wicked men;
he drives hard over them.
28Kindness and duty are a king’s safeguard;
his throne rests upon justice.
29A young man’s strength is his charm;
and grey hairs make an old man beautiful.
30Blows and bruises tell for good
they go deep into the very soul.
