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.
שֹׁחַד מֵחֵיק רָשָׁע יִקָּח לְהַטּוֹת אָרְחוֹת מִשְׁפָּֽט
A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, To pervert the ways of justice.
אֶת־פְּנֵי מֵבִין חָכְמָה וְעֵינֵי כְסִיל בִּקְצֵה־אָֽרֶץ
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
