A man lacking in sense pledges And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
He who loves transgression loves strife; He who raises his door seeks destruction.
He who has a crooked mind finds no good, And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.
He who sires a fool does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.
A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
A wicked man receives a bribe from the bosom To pervert the ways of justice.
Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
