1 Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home;Sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick.
2 An honest life shows respect for God;a degenerate life is a slap in his face.
3 Frivolous talk provokes a derisive smile;wise speech evokes nothing but respect.
4 No cattle, no crops;a good harvest requires a strong ox for the plow.
5 A true witness never lies;a false witness makes a business of it.
