1 A drunken workman wil never grow rich, and one who makes light of small matters will gradual y sink. | |
2 Wine and women corrupt intel igent men, the customer of whores loses al sense of shame. | |
3 Grubs and worms wil have him as their legacy, and the man who knows no shame will lose his life. | |
4 Being too ready to trust shows shal owness of mind, and sinning harms the sinner. | |
5 Taking pleasure in evil earns condemnation; | |
6 by hating gossip one avoids evil. | |
7 Never repeat what you are told and you wil come to no harm; | |
8 whether to friend or foe, do not talk about it, unless it would be sinful not to, do not reveal it; | |
9 you would be heard out, then mistrusted, and in due course you would be hated. | |
10 Have you heard something? Let it die with you. Courage! It wil not burst you! | |
11 A fool wil suffer birthpangs over a piece of news, like a woman labouring with child. | |
12 Like an arrow stuck in the flesh of the thigh, so is a piece of news inside a fool. | |
13 Question your friend, he may have done nothing at al ; and if he has done anything, he wil not do itagain. | |
14 Question your neighbour, he may have said nothing at al ; and if he has said anything, he wil not sayit again. | |
15 Question your friend, for slander is very common, do not believe al you hear. | |
16 People sometimes make a slip, without meaning what they say; and which of us has never sinned byspeech? | |
17 Question your neighbour before you threaten him, and defer to the Law of the Most High. | |

20 Wisdom consists entirely in fearing the Lord, and wisdom is entirely constituted by the fulfil ing of theLaw. | |
21 | |
22 Being learned in evil, however, is not wisdom, there is no prudence in the advice of sinners. | |
23 There is a cleverness that is detestable; whoever has no wisdom is a fool. | |
24 Better be short of sense and ful of fear, than abound in shrewdness and violate the Law. | |
25 There is a wickedness which is scrupulous but nonetheless dishonest, and there are those whomisuse kindness to win their case. | |
26 There is the person who wil walk bowed down with grief, when inwardly this is nothing but deceit: | |
27 he hides his face and pretends to be deaf, if he is not unmasked, he wil take advantage of you. | |
28 There is the person who is prevented from sinning by lack of strength, yet he wil do wrong when hegets the chance. | |
29 You can tel a person by his appearance, you can tell a thinker by the look on his face. | |
30 The way a person dresses, the way he laughs, the way he walks, tel you what he is. |
