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?
בְּכָל־עֵת אֹהֵב הָרֵעַ וְאָח לְצָרָה יִוָּלֵֽד
A friend loveth at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
אָדָם חֲסַר־לֵב תּוֹקֵעַ כָּף עֹרֵב עֲרֻבָּה לִפְנֵי רֵעֵֽהוּ
A man void of understanding is he that striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour.
