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.
מַצְדִּיק רָשָׁע וּמַרְשִׁיעַ צַדִּיק תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה גַּם־שְׁנֵיהֶֽם
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, Even they both are an abomination to the LORD.
לָמָּה־זֶּה מְחִיר בְּיַד־כְּסִיל לִקְנוֹת חָכְמָה וְלֶב־אָֽיִן
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool To buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding?
