A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the stronghold wherein it trusteth.
שֹׁמֵר פִּיו וּלְשׁוֹנוֹ שֹׁמֵר מִצָּרוֹת נַפְשֽׁוֹ
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
זֵד יָהִיר לֵץ שְׁמוֹ עוֹשֶׂה בְּעֶבְרַת זָדֽוֹן
A proud and haughty man, scorner is his name, Even he that dealeth in overbearing pride.
תַּאֲוַת עָצֵל תְּמִיתֶנּוּ כִּֽי־מֵאֲנוּ יָדָיו לַעֲשֽׂוֹת
The desire of the slothful killeth him; For his hands refuse to labour.
כָּל־הַיּוֹם הִתְאַוָּה תַאֲוָה וְצַדִּיק יִתֵּן וְלֹא יַחְשֹֽׂךְ
There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and spareth not.
