בְּאֹרֶךְ אַפַּיִם יְפֻתֶּה קָצִין וְלָשׁוֹן רַכָּה תִּשְׁבָּר־גָּֽרֶם
By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
דְּבַשׁ מָצָאתָ אֱכֹל דַּיֶּךָּ פֶּן־תִּשְׂבָּעֶנּוּ וַהֲקֵֽאתֽוֹ
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
הֹקַר רַגְלְךָ מִבֵּית רֵעֶךָ פֶּן־יִשְׂבָּעֲךָ וּשְׂנֵאֶֽךָ
Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour’s house; Lest he be sated with thee, and hate thee.
מֵפִיץ וְחֶרֶב וְחֵץ שָׁנוּן אִישׁ עֹנֶה בְרֵעֵהוּ עֵד שָֽׁקֶר
As a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, So is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.
שֵׁן רֹעָה וְרֶגֶל מוּעָדֶת מִבְטָח בּוֹגֵד בְּיוֹם צָרָֽה
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
