- Thorns -- snares `are' in the way of the perverse, Whoso is keeping his soul is far from them.
- Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is old he turneth not from it.
- The rich over the poor ruleth, And a servant `is' the borrower to the lender.
- Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of his anger weareth out.
- The good of eye -- he is blessed, For he hath given of his bread to the poor.
- Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.

- Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and knowledge?
