טוֹב נִקְלֶה וְעֶבֶד לוֹ מִמְּתַכַּבֵּד וַחֲסַר־לָֽחֶם
Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
יוֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּוֹ וְֽרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִֽי
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
עֹבֵד אַדְמָתוֹ יִֽשְׂבַּֽע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵיקִים חֲסַר־לֵֽב
He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
חָמַד רָשָׁע מְצוֹד רָעִים וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן
The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
בְּפֶשַׁע שְׂפָתַיִם מוֹקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּֽיק
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous cometh out of trouble.
