You shall beat him with a rod, And deliver his soul from hell.

If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off.

Like the cold of snow in time of harvest Is a faithful messenger to those who send him, For he refreshes the soul of his masters.

As cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a far country.

A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.
