2 اذا ساد الصدّيقون فرح الشعب واذا تسلط الشرير يئن الشعب.	2 When just men are multiplied, the common people shall rejoice. When the impious take up the leadership, the people shall mourn.
3 من يحب الحكمة يفرّح اباه ورفيق الزواني يبدد مالا.	3 The man who loves wisdom rejoices his father. But whoever nurtures promiscuous women will lose his substance.

7 الصدّيق يعرف دعوى الفقراء. اما الشرير فلا يفهم معرفة.	7 The just knows the case of the poor. The impious is ignorant of knowledge.
8 الناس المستهزئون يفتنون المدينة. اما الحكماء فيصرفون الغضب.	8 Pestilent men squander a city. Yet truly, the wise avert fury.
9 رجل حكيم ان حاكم رجلا احمق فان غضب وان ضحك فلا راحة.	9 A wise man, if he were to contend with the foolish, whether in anger or in laughter, would find no rest.

15 العصا والتوبيخ يعطيان حكمة والصبي المطلق الى هواه يخجل امه.	15 The rod and its correction distribute wisdom. But the child who is left to his own will brings shame to his mother.
16 اذا ساد الاشرار كثرت المعاصي. اما الصدّيقون فينظرون سقوطهم.	16 When the impious are multiplied, crimes will be multiplied. But the just shall see their ruin.

19 بالكلام لا يؤدب العبد لانه يفهم ولا يعنى.	19 A servant cannot be taught by words, because he understands what you say, but he disdains to respond.
20 أرأيت انسان عجولا في كلامه. الرجاء بالجاهل اكثر من الرجاء به.	20 Have you seen a man rushing to speak? Foolishness has more hope than his correction.
21 من فنّق عبده من حداثته ففي آخرته يصير منونا.	21 Whoever nurtures his servant delicately from childhood, afterwards will find him defiant.
22 الرجل الغضوب يهيج الخصام والرجل السخوط كثير المعاصي.	22 A short-tempered man provokes quarrels. And whoever is easily angered is more likely to sin.

26 كثيرون يطلبون وجه المتسلط. اما حق الانسان فمن الرب.	26 Many demand the face of the leader. But the judgment of each one proceeds from the Lord.
27 الرجل الظالم مكرهة الصدّيقين والمستقيم الطريق مكرهة الشرير	27 The just abhor an impious man. And the impious abhor those who are on the right way. By keeping the word, the son shall be free from perdition.
