Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

Open rebuke is better than secret love.

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
