- My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,
- 2
- if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,
- 3
- then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.
- 4
- Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;
- 5
- save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
- 6
- Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
- 7
- Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,
- 8
- she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.
- 9
- How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
- 10
- A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
- 11
- and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
- 12
- A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
- 13
- winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger,
- 14
- with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;
- 15
- therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
- 16
- There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
- 17
- haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
- 18
- a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
- 19
- a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
- 20
- My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
- 21
- Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
- 22
- When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
- 23
- For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
- 24
- to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
- 25
- Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
- 26
- for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
- 27
- Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
- 28
- Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
- 29
- So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
- 30
- People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
- 31
- but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
- 32
- He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
- 33
- He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
- 34
- For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
- 35
- He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.

Példabeszéd
A hiábavaló és hazug beszédet messze távolítsd tőlem. Se szegénységet, se gazdagságot ne adj nekem: táplálj engem hozzám illő eledellel,
