טוֹב שֶׁבֶת עַל־פִּנַּת־גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מדונים וּבֵית חָֽבֶר
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, Than in a house in common with a contentious woman.
מַיִם קָרִים עַל־נֶפֶשׁ עֲיֵפָה וּשְׁמוּעָה טוֹבָה מֵאֶרֶץ מֶרְחָֽק
As cold waters to a faint soul, So is good news from a far country.
מַעְיָן נִרְפָּשׂ וּמָקוֹר מָשְׁחָת צַדִּיק מָט לִפְנֵֽי־רָשָֽׁע
As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
אָכֹל דְּבַשׁ הַרְבּוֹת לֹא־טוֹב וְחֵקֶר כְּבֹדָם כָּבֽוֹד
It is not good to eat much honey; So for men to search out their own glory is not glory.
עִיר פְּרוּצָה אֵין חוֹמָה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֵין מַעְצָר לְרוּחֽוֹ
Like a city broken down and without a wall, So is he whose spirit is without restraint.
