A righteous man regards the life of his beast:
but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread:
but he that chases fantasies lacks judgement.
The wicked desire the plunder of evil men:
but the root of the righteous flourishes.
An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk:
but a righteous man escapes trouble.
From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things
as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.
The way of a fool seems right to him,
but a wise man listens to advice.
A fool shows his annoyance at once,
but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
A truthful witness gives honest testimony,
but a false witness tells lies.
Reckless words pierce like a sword,
but the tongue of the wise is health.
The lips of truth shall be established forever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
