The nefesh berakhah (generous person) shall be made to prosper, and he that watereth shall be refreshed also himself.

There is that which scattereth, and yet increaseth more; and there is that which withholdeth more than is yosher, but it leadeth to machsor (want, need, poverty).

When zadon (pride) cometh, then cometh kalon (shame, disgrace), but with the humble is chochmah.

Where no strategic policy is, the nation falls, but in the multitude of yoetz (counsellors, advisors) there is teshu'ah (victory, safety).

The p'ri tzedek is Etz Chayyim, and he that winneth nefashot is chacham (wise).

A bringer of rekhil (gossip), revealeth sod (secrets, confidences), but he that is of a ne'eman ruach concealeth the matter.

The ish chesed (merciful man) doeth good to his own nefesh, but he that is cruel harmeth his own self.

He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the tzaddik shall flourish like the green leaf.

Hon (riches) profit not in the yom evrah (day of wrath), but tzedakah (righteousness) delivereth from mavet.

The integrity of the yesharim (upright ones) shall guide them, but the deceit of the bogedim (treacherous ones) shall destroy them.

As a ring of zahav in the snout of a chazir, so is an isha yafah which is without ta'am (judgment, discretion).

A balance of mirmah (dishonesty, deception) is abomination to HASHEM, but an even shelemah (perfect stone, just weight) is His ratzon.
