לֹא־נָאוָה לְנָבָל שְׂפַת־יֶתֶר אַף כִּֽי־לְנָדִיב שְׂפַת־שָֽׁקֶר
Overbearing speech becometh not a churl; Much less do lying lips a prince.
אֶֽבֶן־חֵן הַשֹּׁחַד בְּעֵינֵי בְעָלָיו אֶֽל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יִפְנֶה יַשְׂכִּֽיל
A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; Whithersoever he turneth, he prospereth.
מְֽכַסֶּה־פֶּשַׁע מְבַקֵּשׁ אַהֲבָה וְשֹׁנֶה בְדָבָר מַפְרִיד אַלּֽוּף
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter estrangeth a familiar friend.
תֵּחַת גְּעָרָה בְמֵבִין מֵהַכּוֹת כְּסִיל מֵאָֽה
A rebuke entereth deeper into a man of understanding Than a hundred stripes into a fool.
אַךְ־מְרִי יְבַקֶּשׁ־רָע וּמַלְאָךְ אַכְזָרִי יְשֻׁלַּח־בּֽוֹ
A rebellious man seeketh only evil; Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
