- Without oxen a stall `is' clean, And great `is' the increase by the power of the ox.
- A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth out lies.

- Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.
- The wisdom of the prudent `is' to understand his way, And the folly of fools `is' deceit.
