לֵב חֲכָמִים בְּבֵית אֵבֶל וְלֵב כְּסִילִים בְּבֵית שִׂמְחָֽה
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
טוֹב לִשְׁמֹעַ גַּעֲרַת חָכָם מֵאִישׁ שֹׁמֵעַ שִׁיר כְּסִילִֽים
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, Than for a man to hear the song of fools.
כִּי כְקוֹל הַסִּירִים תַּחַת הַסִּיר כֵּן שְׂחֹק הַכְּסִיל וְגַם־זֶה הָֽבֶל
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool; this also is vanity.
כִּי הָעֹשֶׁק יְהוֹלֵל חָכָם וִֽיאַבֵּד אֶת־לֵב מַתָּנָֽה
Surely oppression turneth a wise man into a fool; And a gift destroyeth the understanding.
טוֹב אַחֲרִית דָּבָר מֵֽרֵאשִׁיתוֹ טוֹב אֶֽרֶךְ־רוּחַ מִגְּבַהּ־רֽוּחַ
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; And the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
