1
No evil will befall the one who fears the Lord,
but in trials such a one will be rescued again and again.
2
The wise will not hate the law,
but the one who is hypocritical about it is like a boat in a storm.
3
The sensible person will trust in the law;
for such a one the law is as dependable as a divine oracle.
4
Prepare what to say, and then you will be listened to;
draw upon your training, and give your answer.
5
The heart of a fool is like a cart wheel,
and his thoughts like a turning axle.
6
A mocking friend is like a stallion
that neighs no matter who the rider is.
