5 As deep water, so counsel is in the heart of a man; but a wise man shall draw it out. (Advice in a person’s heart (can be) like deep water or (can be) as deep as the water; but a wise person shall draw it out.)
6 Many men be called merciful; but who shall find a faithful man? (Many people be called, or be thought to be, merciful; but who shall truly find a faithful person?)
7 Forsooth a just man that goeth in his simpleness, shall leave blessed sons after him. (For a righteous person who goeth in his honesty, or in his integrity, shall leave blessed sons and daughters after him.)
8 A king that sitteth in the seat of doom, destroyeth all evil by his looking. (A king who sitteth on the seat of judgement, knoweth evil when he seeth it.)
9 Who may say, Mine heart is clean; I am clean of sin?
10 A weight, greater in buying, and a weight, less (er) in selling, a measure and a measure, ever either is abominable at God (or these be abominable to God).
11 A child is understood by his studies (or Even a child is known by his deeds), if his works be rightful and clean.
