Whoever glorifies his father will have long life, and whoever obeys the Lord will refresh his mother;
-
Whoever forsakes his father is like a blasphemer, and whoever angers his mother is cursed by the Lord.
-
The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.
-
For great is the might of the Lord; he is glorified by the humble.
-
Whoever holds her fast will obtain glory, and the Lord will bless the place she enters.

Those who serve her will minister to the Holy One; the Lord loves those who love her.

-
Do not say, “Who will have power over me?” for the Lord will surely punish you.
-
Do not say, “I sinned, and what happened to me?” for the Lord is slow to anger.
-
Do not delay to turn to the Lord, nor postpone it from day to day; for suddenly the wrath of the Lord will go forth, and at the time of punishment you will perish.
-
A faithful friend is an elixir of life; and those who fear the Lord will find him.
-
Whoever fears the Lord directs his friendship aright, for as he is, so is his neighbor also.
-
Reflect on the statutes of the Lord, and meditate at all times on his commandments. It is he who will give insight to your mind, and your desire for wisdom will be granted.
-
Do not seek from the Lord the highest office, nor the seat of honor from the king.
-
Do not assert your righteousness before the Lord, nor display your wisdom before the king.
-
With all your soul fear the Lord, and honor his priests.
-
Fear the Lord and honor the priest, and give him his portion, as is commanded you: the first fruits, the guilt offering, the gift of the shoulders, the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of the holy things.
-
Let righteous men be your dinner companions, and let your glorying be in the fear of the Lord.
-
The government of the earth is in the hands of the Lord, and over it he will raise up the right man for the time.
-
The success of a man is in the hands of the Lord, and he confers his honor upon the person of the scribe.
-
Arrogance is hateful before the Lord and before men, and injustice is outrageous to both.
-
The beginning of man’s pride is to depart from the Lord; his heart has forsaken his Maker.
-
For the beginning of pride is sin, and the man who clings to it pours out abominations. Therefore the Lord brought upon them extraordinary afflictions, and destroyed them utterly.
-
The Lord has cast down the thrones of rulers, and has seated the lowly in their place.
-
The Lord has plucked up the roots of the nations, and has planted the humble in their place.
