The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
