¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

⁵ Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

¹⁷ Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

¹⁸ Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

²¹ If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

²² For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.

¹⁶ A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

²⁵ Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

¹⁰ The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

¹⁶ Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

¹⁷ Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
