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.
כַּשֶּׁלֶג בַּקַּיִץ וְכַמָּטָר בַּקָּצִיר כֵּן לֹא־נָאוֶה לִכְסִיל כָּבֽוֹד
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour is not seemly for a fool.
כַּצִּפּוֹר לָנוּד כַּדְּרוֹר לָעוּף כֵּן קִֽלְלַת חִנָּם לא תָבֹֽא
As the wandering sparrow, as the flying swallow, So the curse that is causeless shall come home. .
שׁוֹט לַסּוּס מֶתֶג לַחֲמוֹר וְשֵׁבֶט לְגֵו כְּסִילִֽים
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, And a rod for the back of fools.
אַל־תַּעַן כְּסִיל כְּאִוַּלְתּוֹ פֶּֽן־תִּשְׁוֶה־לּוֹ גַם־אָֽתָּה
Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou also be like unto him.
