2A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

3谨守口的，得保生命； 大张嘴的，必致败亡。

13藐视训言的，自取灭亡； 敬畏诫命的，必得善报。

13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

14智慧人的法则是生命的泉源， 可以使人离开死亡的网罗。

18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

19所欲的成就，心觉甘甜； 远离恶事，为愚昧人所憎恶。

19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20与智慧人同行的，必得智慧； 和愚昧人作伴的，必受亏损。
