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.
יֹלֵד כְּסִיל לְתוּגָה לוֹ וְלֹֽא־יִשְׂמַח אֲבִי נָבָֽל
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; And the father of a churl hath no joy.
לֵב שָׂמֵחַ יֵיטִב גֵּהָה וְרוּחַ נְכֵאָה תְּיַבֶּשׁ־גָּֽרֶם
A merry heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth the bones.
