A man shall be satisfied with good by the words of his mouth and the work of a man’s hands will reward him.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of trouble.

The wicked desires what evil men have, but the root of the righteous yields fruit.

He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that follows vain persons lacks understanding.

A righteous man regards the life of his beast, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
