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.
פָּגוֹשׁ דֹּב שַׁכּוּל בְּאִישׁ וְאַל־כְּסִיל בְּאִוַּלְתּֽוֹ
Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, Rather than a fool in his folly.
מֵשִׁיב רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה לֹא־תמיש רָעָה מִבֵּיתֽוֹ
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, Evil shall not depart from his house.
פּוֹטֵֽר מַיִם רֵאשִׁית מָדוֹן וְלִפְנֵי הִתְגַּלַּע הָרִיב נְטֽוֹשׁ
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water; Therefore leave off contention, before the quarrel break out.
