The glorie of God is to conceale a thing secret: but the Kings honour is to search out a thing.
3 Van loe sang moe, long loe thuk baktih toengah, siangpahrangnawk ih palung loe hnu thai mak ai.
The heaues in height, and the earth in deepenes, and the Kings heart can no man search out.

Debate thy matter with thy neighbour, and discouer not the secret to another,
10 to tih ai nahaeloe lok thaih kami mah nang azathaih tongsak hanah taphong ueloe, na hmin hoihaih to amro moeng tih.
Least he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamie doe not cease.
11 Kahoih lok apaehhaih loe sumkanglung pazut het ih sui bungmu hoiah anghmong.
A word spoken in his place, is like apples of golde with pictures of siluer.
12 Palunghahaih lok hoi thuitaek kami loe, lok tahngai kami hanah, sui naa tangkraeng baktih, suitui kaciim hoiah sak ih bungmu baktiah oh.
He that reprooueth the wise, and the obedient eare, is as a golden earering and an ornament of fine golde.

A man that boasteth of false liberalitie, is like cloudes and winde without raine.
15 Pauephaih rang hoiah ukkung to pazawk thaih moe, loknaem mah ahuh to angkhaehsak thaih.
A Prince is pacified by staying of anger, and a soft tongue breaketh the bones.
16 Khoitui to na hnuk maw? Kahoih boekah caa ah, amhah aak ah na caak nahaeloe na palok tih.
If thou haue found hony, eate that is sufficient for thee, least thou be ouerfull, and vomit it.
17 Na imtaeng khaeah kahoih boekah caeh ah, na caeh tuektuek nahaeloe, na hmawt ueloe, na hnuma moeng tih.

Hee that taketh away the garment in the colde season, is like vineger powred vpon nitre, or like him that singeth songs to an heauy heart.
21 Na misa to zok amthlam nahaeloe buh paek ah; tui anghae nahaeloe naek hanah tui to paek ah;
If hee that hateth thee be hungry, giue him bread to eate, and if he be thirstie, giue him water to drinke.
22 hae loe anih lu nuiah hmaisaae koeng pae baktiah om ueloe, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih na paek tih.
For thou shalt lay coles vpon his head, and the Lord shall recompense thee.
23 Aluek bang ih takhi mah kho angzohsak baktih toengah, minawk kasae thui kami ih palai mah palungphuihaih to tacawtsak.
As the Northwinde driueth away the raine, so doeth an angry countenance the slandering tongue.

A man that refraineth not his appetite, is like a citie which is broken downe and without walles.
