מַצְרֵף לַכֶּסֶף וְכוּר לַזָּהָב וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת יְהוָֽה
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; But the LORD trieth the hearts. .
מֵרַע מַקְשִׁיב עַל־שְׂפַת־אָוֶן שֶׁקֶר מֵזִין עַל־לְשׁוֹן הַוֺּֽת
A evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; And a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
לֹעֵג לָרָשׁ חֵרֵף עֹשֵׂהוּ שָׂמֵחַ לְאֵיד לֹא יִנָּקֶֽה
Whoso mocketh the poor blasphemeth his Maker; And he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
עֲטֶרֶת זְקֵנִים בְּנֵי בָנִים וְתִפְאֶרֶת בָּנִים אֲבוֹתָֽם
Children’s children are the crown of old men; And the glory of children are their fathers.
לֹא־נָאוָה לְנָבָל שְׂפַת־יֶתֶר אַף כִּֽי־לְנָדִיב שְׂפַת־שָֽׁקֶר
Overbearing speech becometh not a churl; Much less do lying lips a prince.
