The just one knows the lives of his beasts. But the inner most parts of the impious are cruel.
11 Amah khohmuen aka tawn loh buh a cung sak tih, a lungbuei aka talh long tah a hoenghoep te a hloem.
Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever continually pursues leisure is most foolish. Whoever is soothed by lingering over wine leaves behind contempt in his strongholds.

The lips of truth shall be steadfast forever. But a hasty witness readies a lying tongue.
20 Hlangthai palat loh a lungbuei khuikah boethae te a uep tih, rhoepnah ham aka uen loh kohoenah a dang.
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evils. But gladness follows those who take up counsels of peace.
