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.
אֹהֵֽב פֶּשַׁע אֹהֵב מַצָּה מַגְבִּיהַּ פִּתְחוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־שָֽׁבֶר
He loveth transgression that loveth strife; He that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
עִקֶּשׁ־לֵב לֹא יִמְצָא־טוֹב וְנֶהְפָּךְ בִּלְשׁוֹנוֹ יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָֽה
He that hath a forward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into evil.
