7The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children.
8The king, that sitteth on the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his look.
9Who can say: My heart is clean, I am pure from sin?
10Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.
11By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.
13Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.
14It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.
15There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
16Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.
17The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
19Meddle not with him that revealeth secrets, and walketh deceitfully, and openeth wide his lips.
20He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
