As thou lovest thy life get wisdom, discernment at thy side and thou shall speed well.
Lack learning and all is not well within, ever.
Of life and death, the tongue holds the keys. Use it lovingly and it will requite thee.
Worse days come when servants (us) sway away from their masters (the trinity).
Patience is wisdom’s livery (a special uniform worn by servants of officials)
There is no such boast as a wrong overlooked.
Of the King’s frown beware, as of lion roaring. Welcome as dew on grass is his smile.
House and hoard large amounts of food, money, valuable things which are kept in large expanse) a man may inherit; it is the Lord’s gift only, if he has a wife that minds her ways.
Great hurt it is to be a fool’s father.
Sloth (the bad habit of being lazy & unwilling to work) brings the sleep that has no awaking.
Idle hands, empty belly.
Law observed is life preserved; the careless step leads the way to death.
Befriend the poor, & lend to the Lord (lend to those in need and don’t expect or pressure them to repay you),; the Lord will repay faithfully.
Chasten (make somebody feel sorry for what he has done) thy son still, don’t despair (lose hope of his amendment); still let the death of him be far from thy thoughts.
Thought jostles’ thought in man’s heart (to push roughly against somebody or something); the Lord’s will stands firm.(Even though God’s words & unheeding thoughts battle in a man’s heart; God’s will shall stand firm).
Give heed to counsel, accept correction, & thou shall be wise at last.
He injures himself that is ungovernable in rage; every advantage he seizes does but injures him the more.
Poverty is the school of piety (having strong & deep respect for God & religion); better need than knavery(being dishonest). Fear of the Lord leads on to life, life where all is contentment & no ill may come.
With folded hands the sluggard sits by, & never puts hand to mouth.
Never weary, my son, of giving heed to warnings; never let the counsels of experience pass thee by.
Beware of the King’s power, as of lion’s roaring; challenge it & thy life is forfeit.
Prudent counsel is a well buried deep in a man’s heart; but the wise know how to draw from it.
Many there are those passes for kindly souls, but a faithful friend is hard to come by.
An upright man that goes armed with honest intent leaves a blessing to his children.
One balance for getting & one for giving, the Lord will not endure.
The ears that listens, the watchful eye, are both of the Lord’s fashioning.
Love not thy sleep, or poverty will overtake thee unawares; the open eye means a full belly.
Gold thou mayest have in abundance, & jewels a many, but the finest ware of all is wise speech.
Trust people by using your knowledge wisely.
Counsel is the sure buttress of determination.
Wait the Lord’s hour & redress shall be thine.
Every step man takes is of the Lord’s choosing, & so don’t plot out your path because God will.
Man’s spirit is a lamp that God gives to search out the hidden corners of his being.
Mercy shown & justice done win the Lord’s favor beyond any sacrifice.
Who shuts his ear to the poor man’s plea, himself one day shall plead in vain.
Appease thy enemy with an open hand.
If you stray from the path thou were taught, thou shall lodge with the dead.
Of greed, comes want.
Guard lips and tongue as thou would guard thy life from peril.
Honest living be thy quest & kindly deeds, life shall be thine, & blessings, & honor.
The upright scans well his path.
Obey the commandment, & thy pleadings shall triumph.
Wisdom is none, prudence is none, and counsel is none that can be marched with the Lord’s will; well armed thy horse may be on the eve of battle, but the Lord sends victory.
Precious beyond all treasure is good repute; not gold or silver is so worth the winning, as to be loved.
Rich & poor are both God’s creatures.
When ill times come, prudence is on its guard, & takes refuge; the unwary march on, & pay the penalty.
Humility brings fear of the Lord, & therewith riches, honor & long life.
Stake & caltrop beset the path of the wicked; as thou lovest life, keep thy distance.
Keep the course you have begun with, & when you grow old, don’t leave it.
Rich rules poor; debtor must wait on the creditor.
For every loaf of bread given to the hungry, blessed shall be the reward of kindly hearts.
When you banish the reckless spirit in you, strive goes out with him; thou art rid of quarreling and of disgrace.
Love purity of heart, & thou shalt find such gracious words as shall win thee a King’s friendship.
True knowledge has the Lord’s smile for its protection.
